Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), the formation of blood clots in the lower limbs, is the third most common vascular disease in North America after heart attack and stroke, and is a frequent complication in hospitalized patients.

DVT is a potentially serious condition that can lead to rapid death from pulmonary embolism if untreated. DVT and pulmonary embolism can affect adults of every age and ethnic group. Now, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Caf茅 Scientifique and the Jewish General Hospital are proud to present Lots About Clots, a free event where thrombosis experts from the JGH will help you learn how to reduce your risk.
