Did you know? 1 in 4 people worldwide are dying from conditions caused by thrombosis. And, it's a startling fact that up to 900,000 people in the United States alone are affected by blood clots each year; about 100,000 of those people will die, which is greater than the total number of people who lose their lives each year to AIDS, breast cancer, and motor vehicle crashes combined.
