Goldhaber has suggested that the true prevalence of DVT is closer to 2 million cases. The scope of the problem goes beyond the morbidity from the DVT itself. Post-thrombotic syndrome and pulmonary hypertension are severe sequelae, which impact on quality of life. Approximately 10% of PE leads to death, accounting for 60,000 deaths per year. Overall, the  1.5 billion dollars per year are spent on venous thrombosis per year. Estimated Cost of VTE Care  1.5 Billion/year. Hirsh J and Hoak J. American Heart Association Heit J et al.
