The Impact of Blood Clots in the U.S.

Up to 900,000 people in the United States each year are affected(https://cheapmalls.club) by blood clots in their legs (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and blood clots in their lungs (pulmonary embolism or PE). Annually, up to 300,000 Americans – or one person in this country every six minutes – will die due to a blood clot in their lung. Blood clots do not discriminate. They affect men, women and children, regardless of race, ethnicity, and age.

Some of the primary risk factors for blood clots include:

Women & Blood Clots Information Portal, Resources

NBCA’s Women and Blood Clots program has at its centerpiece an important new educational portal, where women of all ages can learn about the blood clot risks associated with several crucial life stages, including: family planning and birth control, pregnancy and childbirth, and the treatment of menopause symptoms. Additional resources connected to this educational program include a four-part video series and striking infographic. To learn more about blood clots and clotting disorders in general, and also the signs and symptoms of blood clots.

“The primary driver for NBCA’s work in this arena has always rested with the ongoing challenge to increase recognition of blood clots,” explains Fenninger. “Central to NBCA’s mission is the need to equip Americans with the knowledge to ask their doctors proactively if they might be at risk for a blood clot. We welcome the opportunity(https://cheapmart.club) to stand with more than 300 World Thrombosis Day partners around the globe to help amplify these important public health messages in the U.S. and abroad.”
