Abstract

Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a common presentation in acute medicine and ensuring fast, accurate diagnosis and appropriate management is important. Getting it right not only reduces mortality but can also reduce the long-term complications associated with the disease such as post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
