After a deep venous thrombosis, postphlebitic (postthrombotic) syndrome is a symptomatic chronic venous insufficiency (DVT). Chronic venous insufficiency is caused by illnesses that cause venous hypertension, mainly due to venous injury or venous valve incompetence, as occurs (for example) after DVT. Post-thrombotic syndrome can be caused by a number of

Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused by a lack of oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. In your chest, you may feel pressure or a squeezing sensation. In addition to your shoulders, arms, neck, mouth, belly, and back, you may experience discomfort in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, abdomen,

Atrial fibrillation (AF), which also known as AF, is a kind of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. Afib is characterized by abnormally fast and irregular heartbeats from the upper chambers (usually more than 400 beats per minute). A consistent contraction of the heart muscle is required for a normal, healthy heartbeat.

Raynaud’s phenomenon is a condition in which blood flow to the fingers is reduced. It can also reduce blood flow to the ears, toes, nipples, knees, and nose in some situations. This is caused by blood vessel spasms in particular locations. The spasms are triggered by cold, tension, or emotional

Buerger’s disease (also known as thromboangiitis obliterans) is a blood vessel disease that affects the arms and legs. Blood arteries enlarge, obstructing blood flow and allowing clots to develop. Pain, tissue damage, and even gangrene might result as a result of this (the death or decay of body tissues). Although

Antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) are proteins that may be present in the blood and may increase your risk for blood clots or pregnancy losses. If you have a history of blood clots or recurrent pregnancy losses, you may have been tested for the presence of APLAs in your blood. Antiphospholipid syndrome

Platelet diseases can impact the amount of platelets in the body, as well as how efficiently they function. A platelet problem disrupts the proper clotting of blood. Platelet dysfunction can be caused by a variety of disorders, including: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a type of thrombocytopenic purpura that is

Autoantibodies that neutralize specific clotting factors in vivo (e.g., an autoantibody against factor VIII or factor V) or inhibit phospholipid-bound proteins in vitro are the most common circulating anticoagulants (antiphospholipid antibodies). Instead of heavy bleeding, some persons with particular types of circulating anticoagulants develop blood clots within an artery or

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a dangerous disorder that causes blood flow to be disrupted. It’s a clotting problem that can lead to uncontrollable bleeding. People with cancer or sepsis may be affected by DIC. The following are the most common DIC causes: Blood transfusion reaction. Cancer, especially certain types
