The seeds of personal tragedy can blossom into great possibility. Katie’s Voice, Inc. is dedicated to the memory of Katie M. Projansky (nee Anderson) and the promise of preventing DVT/PE related deaths. Through sharing stories of personal struggle and triumph and providing information about the causes, risks and DVT prevention, we can stop DVT/PE.
At Katie’s Voice, our mission is to
advocate the discovery and prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism (DVT/PE).
Our vision is to create awareness for early diagnosis of DVT and PE, so we can reduce the mortality rates associated with the tragic illness.
Engage In Hope and Stop DVT
DVT is a condition that can potentially affect anyone; however, knowing DVT symptoms and signs for early prevention can prevent fatal blood clots (PE) and make successful treatment possible.
The main cause of DVT is due to immobility and restricted blood circulation after a prolonged period of time. Slow blood circulation lets blood clots form, and these blood clots can break free and enter the lungs.
Hereditary and medical factors can also increase the potential for DVT. It’s important to know your family health history, as inherited blood clotting conditions can greatly increase the risk of DVT, especially during pregnancy.
