Venous Thromboembolism & Spaceflight: What Astronauts Teach Us About Blood Clots on Earth
Astronauts returning from space face unique circulatory challenges, including an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a condition that also affects millions on Earth. This blog explores the connection between spaceflight and blood clots, highlighting key risk factors such as prolonged immobility, dehydration, and genetic predisposition. By learning from astronauts' experiences, readers can take proactive steps—like staying active, hydrated, and wearing compression stockings—to protect their vein health and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
What Should I Do If I Think I Have a Blood Clot?
If you suspect a blood clot, acting quickly is crucial to prevent serious complications.
