− | * Deep Venous Thrombosis: Virchow's triad, mostly occur in the legs, DVTs leading to PEs are usually in the femoral veins. Hofman's sign is neither sensitive or specific. Risk stratify based on Well's score, then get D-dimer (sensitive, not specific) if pre-test probability is low to rule out DVT. Can give therapeutic dose heparin if pre-test probability is high. | + | * [[Deep Venous Thrombosis]]: Virchow's triad, mostly occur in the legs, DVTs leading to PEs are usually in the femoral veins.
