About this listen
This essential episode provides a detailed, practical roadmap for understanding Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), which includes both Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). We start by clearly classifying the most common risk factors, separating them into Transient (e.g., surgery, travel), Persistent (e.g., cancer, family history), and Drug-Related categories. Crucially, we outline the "Red Flag" symptoms that demand immediate medical attention (like sudden shortness of breath or persistent limb swelling). Finally, we dive into the advanced topic of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)—what to look for (a platelet drop 5-10 days post-heparin) and the critical switch to non-heparin agents like Argatroban or Rivaroxaban.
