Dz relating to Virchow's Triad ( D-A-P-V-C ) - ANSWER- 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.
PE s/s - ANSWER- 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.
