VTE is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death, following acute coronary artery disease and stroke, and is responsible for more than 3 million deaths per year worldwide.
Thromboprophylaxis remains underused or misapplied with relatively low public- and provider-awareness given the high degree of public health burden & it is considered an unmet medical need.
There are many things doctors can do to help patients suffering from this disease.
That’s why our VTE Protocol Guidelines offer great support to physicians concerning the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options in an accessible easy-to-read format directing to better healthcare decisions.
