Are Dangerous Blood Clots Lurking in Your Legs?

They kill 300,000 people a year — but most of them could be prevented. They strike more than a million people every year, most of them out of the blue — and half without causing symptoms.

“They” are blood clots that form in the veins of the lower body, and sometimes break off and travel to the lungs, where they can be deadly. In the legs and pelvis, they’re called DVTs, short for deep-vein thrombosis. If they break off and travel to the lungs they’re called PEs, for pulmonary embolisms.

Hospitalized patients are one of the highest-risk groups for DVTs and PEs, as are those who have a spinal cord injury or other paralysis, says Wakefield.
