Quote DVT in general and Factor V Leiden in particular - As I have noted before DVTs get amazingly little attention given that they are the proximate cause of death for a surprisingly large fraction of the population. Studies of random autopsies indicate that percentage of deaths from pulmonary embolism (a little different than DVTs) is about 2% of all deaths

I couldn't agree more with your observation. I myself have help two men in their late 60's this summer alone (both healthy & active) by insisting that they immediately get an ultrasound of their leg.....both turned out to have DVT behind their knees. With 30 Million in the US alone having Factor V Leiden....you would think the pharma companies would be better addressing this indication. Just my 2 cents.
