Tromboembolism is a major health issue, causing around 300,000 deaths per year. It involves two processes - deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). There are several genetic and acquired risk factors for developing tromboembolism. Genetic risk factors include mutations in certain genes, while acquired risks include older age, obesity, oral contraceptive use, cancer, and recent surgery or hospitalization. Symptoms of tromboembolism can include dyspnea, chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, and syncope. Diagnosis involves clinical scoring systems, imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scans, and ventilation-perfusion scans. Treatment involves antico
