Kochi, Sep 5 (UNI) The increasing incidence of deep venous problems in Kerala is alarming, according to experts at a national conference that placed significant emphasis on the alarming rise in morbidity and mortality linked to Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins of the body.
