Hi Thanks for posting on HCM DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in the veins , often in your legs. Blood clots can be caused by anything that prevents blood from circulating normally or clotting properly.Risk factors for DVT are: -Inherited blood clotting disorder -Prolonged bed stay such as hospitalization/paralysis -Injury or surgery -Pregnancy in women -Birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy -Overweight/obesity -Smoking -Cancer -Heart failure -And so many others DVT is a serious condition and should be managed in specialized units to prevent deadly complications like pulmonary edema.You will need to be in the care of a Cardiologist for better management. Hope my answer will help you Best regards
