Blood clots are a major epidemic and killer in America each and every year. Every year the deaths in blood clots range anywhere from 100,000 and 180,000. Blood clots are known as the silent killer. As the only way to determine if you have them is if you are aware of the symptoms that come with them or get tested. If one were to take the maximum deaths of the range aforementioned, 180,000, and do the math it comes out to twenty deaths a day. Blood clots can affect people in many different ways including, how they form, what they will do to an individual (male v. female, pregnant v. nonpregnant), the symptoms, the disorders that can cause blood clots, preventions, and medications. One question stemming from blood clots is, how do they form?
