Summary of Bill HRES 1174

Bill 117 H.Res. 1174, also known as the "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month" resolution, aims to support the goals and ideals of raising awareness about deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). These are serious medical conditions that occur when blood clots form in the deep veins of the body, typically in the legs, and can travel to the lungs, causing a potentially life-threatening condition.

The resolution recognizes the importance of educating the public about the risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of DVT and PE. It also acknowledges the need for increased research and resources to improve diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

By designating a specific month for DVT and PE awareness, the resolution seeks to bring attention to these often overlooked health issues and encourage individuals to take proactive steps to protect their health. It also aims to promote collaboration among healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers to address the challenges associated with DVT and PE. Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 1174 underscores the importance of raising awareness about DVT and PE to improve public health outcomes and reduce the burden of these potentially deadly conditions on individuals and society as a whole.
