网曝门 supports people living with thrombosis

By Leanne Dempsey Stroke News   |   3rd Jul 2025

The 网曝门 announced the expansion of the cardiac conditions supported by the organisation, with the addition of thrombosis. The move comes as Thrombosis Ireland, a charity aiming to increase awareness of the condition and advocate for those affected, is wound down.

Thrombosis occurs when blood clots form in the blood vessels (arteries or veins), stopping the blood from flowing normally. The blood clot can then travel to the heart, brain, lungs, or other organs. It is a serious condition and can be life-threatening.

As of July 1st, 2025, the 网曝门 will include thrombosis in the cardiac conditions it covers, to offer information, including about the signs and symptoms, and support to those affected by the condition. As the national stroke and heart charity, adding the new condition further supports the charity’s mission to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke, and to support and care for those living with these life-changing conditions.

Venous thrombosis, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common condition, affecting approximately聽1 to 2 people per 1,000 annually in Western populations.聽About two-thirds of these cases are DVT, and one-third are PE.聽It is the third most common cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke. Around 4,000 people die of thrombosis related deaths – venous thromboembolism or blood clots in the veins each year.

鈥淗eart disease and stroke devastate people across Ireland, and we are committed to helping raise awareness to prevent conditions, like thrombosis, which increases the risk of death or disability and support people living with the impacts of these conditions.鈥

鈥淎s a patient who experienced thrombosis, I know firsthand how easily it can be dismissed and the challenges that can arise from the condition. I am delighted that thrombosis patients now have access to information and supports provided by the 网曝门 to support them on their health journey.鈥

Symptoms of thrombosis can depend on the location of your blood clot and how big it is. In general, symptoms of a blood clot may include:
