Deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Artwork featuring a dissected human lower leg showing clot formation (thrombosis, in red ) along the length of a vein (blue). Deep vein thromboses are provoked by situations that encourage sluggish blood flow and which increase the tendency of the blood to coagulate; these include prolonged bed rest, surgery, heart failure and pregnancy. The main danger is that a part of the clot may become detached and cause a blockage in another part of the circulation - as in the case of a pulmonary embolism, where a blood clot is carried in the circulation to lodge in the pulmonary artery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library provides a detailed visual representation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a potentially life-threatening condition. The print showcases a dissected human lower leg, with the veins depicted in blue and clot formations shown in striking red. Deep vein thromboses occur when blood flow becomes sluggish and the blood has an increased tendency to coagulate. This can be triggered by various situations such as prolonged bed rest, surgery, heart failure, or pregnancy. The artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers associated with DVT. One of the main risks is that a portion of the clot may detach and travel through circulation, causing blockages elsewhere in the body. This can lead to severe complications like pulmonary embolism when a blood clot lodges itself in the pulmonary artery. Through this illustration, viewers gain insight into both the anatomy and pathology behind this vascular disorder. It highlights how crucial it is for healthcare professionals to identify risk factors early on and implement preventive measures accordingly. Science Photo Library's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its educational significance within medical science. By shedding light on conditions like DVT through artistry, we are reminded of medicine's constant pursuit towards understanding diseases better and finding effective treatments for improved patient care.
