Trombosis venosa profunda.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition with an annual incidence of 0.1%. The diagnosis of DVT is important because almost half of the people with DVT develop pulmonary embolism. However, the clinical manifestations are not very sensitive or specific. Probabilistic diagnostic models, such as the Wells clinical model, have been developed to predict the risk of DVT. The medical history, clinical symptoms and signs, D-dimer, and Doppler ultrasound are tools used in the diagnosis of DVT. The combination of clinical probability, D-dimer, and Doppler ultrasound is the ideal diagnostic strategy. [Extracted from the article]

El diagnóstico de la TVP es importante debido a que casi la mitad de las personas con TVP desarrollan embolia pulmonar. Sin embargo, las manifestaciones clínicas son poco sensibles y poco específicas. Se han desarrollado modelos diagnósticos probabilísticos, como el modelo clínico de Wells, para predecir el riesgo de TVP. La historia clínica, los síntomas y signos clínicos, el dímero D y la ecografía Doppler son herramientas utilizadas en el diagnóstico de la TVP. La combinación de la probabilidad clínica, el dímero D y la ecografía Doppler es la estrategia diagnóstica ideal. [Extracted from the article]
