Louise Bannon: Did You Know That Arterial Thrombosis Is One of The Top Global Killers?

Louise Bannon, Director of Membership, Marketing and External Relations at ISTH, reposted from WHO on LinkedIn:

”Did you know that arterial thrombosis, which can cause heart attack and stroke, is one of the top global killers?

High blood pressure (hypertension) is the leading risk factor for these events.

Venous thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), can also be life-threatening, especially after surgery, periods of immobility, cancer or hormonal therapy.

With 1.4 billion people living with hypertension worldwide (World Health Organization), understanding thrombosis, how it happens, its risk factors and how to prevent it, has never been more important.

Learn the signs. Know your risk. Take action to protect your health.”

World Health Organization (WHO) shared on LinkedIn:

”New WHO report finds 1.4 billion people live with hypertension.

Hypertension is the number one risk factor for:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke

and can lead to:

  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Dementia
