What do we all think?
34 year old triathlete (Local/National level) develops calf pain and then become dyspnoeic, to the extent he cannot finish the race.
Sees GP next day, who does a d-dimer (positive) and starts him on a three month course of warfarin.
Q1. Think he should see someone with an interest in sports medicine for ECHO and Spiral CT chest?
Q2 What do you advise him in respect of training?
Any other comments - 2 cases of "competition DVT/PE" in literature (but I have not seen them).
