Which symptoms are associated with Deep Vein Thrombosis?

• A. Hypertension
• B. Deep venous thrombosis
• C. Myocardial infarction
• D. Asthma

Answer: (B)

Deep Vein Thrombosis typically presents with unilateral leg swelling and leg pain from venous obstruction, often with warmth, tenderness, and sometimes erythema. The other options describe conditions with very different symptom patterns—hypertension with high blood pressure, myocardial infarction with chest pain, and asthma with wheezing and shortness of breath—so they don’t reflect DVT symptomatology. The choice that directly references the condition itself aligns with recognizing DVT-related symptoms, making it the best answer in this set. Remember that DVT can be asymptomatic, and when symptoms occur they point clinicians toward further evaluation with imaging such as a leg vein ultrasound.
