Vascular Disease: Working with Your HealthCare Provider
Understand the importance of working with your healthcare provider to identify and control your risk factors, in order to lower the risk of serious complications of vascular disease.
Many heart attacks and strokes are caused by blood clots that block the flow of blood to the heart or brain. In these cases, rapid intervention from a medical professional with a clot-dissolving drug can reduce the damage caused by the blood clot.
Understand that Lovenox is an injectable medication that works to break up clots resulting from DVT and keeps the blood thin. Also, learn how to properly use and store this medication, and possible side effects to be aware of.
