Julie Cardoso: Post-Thrombotic Syndrome – The Hidden Impact of DVT

Julie Cardoso, Owner and Executive Director of Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility at Universal Ultrasound Diagnostics, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Post-Thrombotic Syndrome: The Hidden Impact of DVT

March is DVT Awareness Month, and while we often focus on acute events, the long-term impact matters too.

Up to 50 percent of DVT patients develop Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) a chronic condition caused by vein damage and increased venous pressure.

Symptoms can include:

  • Leg pain, heaviness, and fatigue
  • Swelling that worsens with standing
  • Skin changes and in severe cases
  • Venous ulcers

The takeaway: Early diagnosis and streamlined care pathways are critical to preventing lifelong complications.

Join us at Universal U on April 25 to learn how we can improve outcomes and elevate patient care.”
