Inherited Thrombophilia

Thrombophilia describes a collection of medical conditions, often inherited, which increase patients' risk of developing a DVT or PE. Watch this video to learn the scientific basis for the 5 established inherited thrombophilic disorders, how to test for them, how they influence treatment of clot events and when testing is indicated

Thank you for clearing explanation about thrombophilia👍

Very well explained Andrew! Management of VTE can be confusing at the best of times in relation to length and dose of anticoagulation - I like the way you explained Phenotype>Genotype. Keep up the amazing videos.

i hope you can help me with the pathophysiology of DM to DVT

[@mededwithandrew]

I don't know of a direct causative link between Diabetes and DVTs. There would definitely be associations as patients with poorly controlled diabetes are more prone to acute illness/infections which can predispose DVT/PE. Likewise, diabetes is frequently associated with obesity which is a risk factor for DVT/PE

it took me weeks trying to link it. even atherosclerosis. but most studies suggest for further research to correlate them…
