Abstract: October 13, 2014, marks the first-ever World Thrombosis
Day.The date was selected because in the memory of
Rudolf Virchow, a German physician who first developed
the concept of “thrombosis”.WTD is an annual day
thought to increase awareness and action through educational
activities for the public and health professionals.
The aim of this efforts is to
• Increase the awareness about the prevalence and
risks from thrombosis
• Reduce the number of undiagnosed cases and the
number of fatal cases.
• Increase the implementation of evidence-based
prevention
• Encourage health care systems to implement strategies
to ensure “best practices” for prevention, diagnosis
and treatment
• Advocate for adequate resources for these efforts
and increased support for research to reduce the
disease burden from thrombosis
• This report provides an overview of the campaign
as well as a comprehensive impact review of all
efforts and activities organized in Argentina.
Key words: Thrombosis,
world,
day world of BTK.
