That was why I suggested the D-dimer...
It is common in a lot of laboratories and can "detect" somewhat whether
or not you are developing blood clots.

Microclots, not detectable by a lung scan, is what killed my mother.

Had nothing to do with Zocor with her, but it is what almost killed
Mark's wife!

Just FYI! :-)

Oh, and ASA is a better clot preventor than many people think... AFAIK anyway.
