Blood Clots and Pregnancy

admin — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 05:07:07 +0000

Just a short video to update you all on my blood clot and pregnancy news. When I was 21, I had a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) which was estrogen related so now that I am pregnant, I need to administer myself daily needles of Fragmin (blood thinner). When I hit 20 weeks, it’ll increase to twice daily. Anyone else managing blood clots and pregnancy?

Deep Vein Thrombosis-Mayo Clinic

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 07:47:44 +0000

John Heit, M.D., a cardiovascular physician at Mayo Clinic, received today a $1.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for its Genes, Environment and Health Initiative. Dr. Heit’s grant will be used to study the genome-wide association of venous thrombosis (blood clots in the veins).

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a vein — a blood vessel that returns oxygen-depleted blood to your heart. These clots are different from those that form in an artery — a blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from your heart to the rest of your body. Risk factors for developing DVT include surgery, hospitalization for medical illness, major trauma (especially a long bone fracture of the leg), cancer and neurological disorders that cause leg weakness.

When a blood clot (thrombus) develops in a vein, the danger is that it will break loose and travel to your lungs, where it can become stuck. This serious condition is known as a pulmonary embolism and, in some cases, the result is sudden death. It’s estimated that each year about 1 million Americans have a DVT or pulmonary embolism episode; about one-third are fatal.

Dr. Heit discusses the need to examine the role of genetics in DVT and the need for increased awareness of DVT:

It’s an ailment with potentially deadly complications. In fact, those complications lead to more deaths each year in this country than breast cancer and HIV combined. It’s called Deep Vein Thrombosis and it affects more than a half million people a year in this country. Now, new research by a team of international scientists, including a leading researcher from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, shows a new drug can make treatment more convenient, but just as effective.
