Dz relating to Virchow's Triad ( D-A-P-V-C )
✓ 1. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): DVT is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, often in the
leg. It can occur due to stasis of blood flow (e.g. immobility), damage to the blood vessel
wall (e.g. injury or surgery), and increased blood coagulability (e.g. cancer or genetic
factors).
✓ 2. Atrial fibrillation (AFib): AFib is a heart rhythm disorder that can cause blood to pool
in the atria of the heart, increasing the risk of blood clots. This occurs due to stasis of
blood flow in the atria.
✓ 3. Pulmonary embolism (PE): PE occurs when a blood clot travels from the legs or other
parts of the body to the lungs, blocking blood flow. PE can occur due to DVT or other
factors that contribute to Virchow's triad.
✓ 4. Vasculitis: Vasculitis is a group of diseases that cause inflammation and damage to
blood vessels, which can increase the risk of blood clots.
✓ 5. Cancer: Cancer can increase the risk of blood clots by promoting a hypercoagulable
state in the body.

✓ 1. Sudden shortness of breath: This is the most common symptom of PE and may be
accompanied by chest pain or discomfort.
✓ 2. Chest pain: Chest pain or discomfort may occur and can be sharp or stabbing in
nature, or may feel like a pressure or squeezing sensation.
✓ 3. Rapid or irregular heartbeat: Your heart rate may be faster than usual, or you may
experience irregular heartbeats, also known as palpitations.
✓ 4. Coughing: You may cough up blood or bloody mucus, or experience a persistent
cough.
✓ 5. Sweating: You may experience sweating or clammy skin.
✓ Leg swelling or pain: A blood clot that travels to the lungs may be caused by a deep vein
thrombosis (DVT) in the leg, so you may also experience leg pain, swelling, or redness.
✓ 6. Feeling lightheaded or diy: You may feel faint or dizzy, or experience a sense of
impending doom.zz
CVI treatment- The goals of treatment for CVI are to relieve symptoms, prevent complications
such as skin ulcers and infections, and improve blood flow. Treatment options for CVI may
include:
✓ 1. Compression therapy: This involves wearing special compression stockings or bandages
that help improve blood flow in the legs.
✓ 2. Exercise: Regular physical activity can help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms
of CVI.
✓ 3. Medications: Certain medications, such as diuretics or anti-inflammatory drugs, may be
used to relieve symptoms or reduce inflammation.
✓ 4. Procedures: In some cases, procedures such as sclerotherapy or endovenous ablation
may be recommended to treat varicose veins or damaged valves.
