Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition we commonly encounter on the wards and in the Emergency Department. But how well do we really understand what is happening beneath the surface?Join us as we go back to the first principles of medicine to explore DVT—from the underlying pathophysiology and risk factors to recognising the key clinical features and approaching a patient when DVT is suspected. We’ll break down the essentials you need to know to confidently identify DVT in clinical practice and understand why it matters.Whether you’re revising for exams, on the wards, or preparing for your next ED shift, this episode will help you build a practical, first-principles approach to DVT.=== Other Links ===1PM WebsiteCheck out our new website 1pm.wiki for the Notion document, free Anki flashcards, and podcast episodes.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/firstprinciplesofmedicine/Recorded 18nd June, 2026.
