Wondering what the fuss is about blood clots?
Join me for a deep dive into what they actually are, why they happen, and when to be worried.
DVT: deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the vein)
PE: pulmonary embolism (blood clot that has traveled to the lung)
VTE: venous thromboembolism (combined term for the disorder that causes both DVT and PE)
