Description

Between 350,000 and 600,000 Americans each year contract Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism (DVT/PE), and at least 100,000 deaths are thought to be related to these diseases each year. There is great hope and optimism about prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. We have made progress in our knowledge of how to prevent, diagnose and treat DVT/PE. But, we are not applying that knowledge on a systematic basis. This Call to Action is intended to serve as a stimulus for the development of a coordinated plan to reverse the current trend and dramatically reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by DVT/PE. It outlines the kinds of activities that are part of this plan. Illustrations.
