Article Abstract:
In 2000, when a 28-year-old British woman got off a long-haul flight from Australia to London, and collapsed and died from deep vein thrombosis (DVT), many more cases of this travel-related ailment were unearthed. As airlines are not rushing to change their seating arrangements, long-distance passengers should try to prevent DVT by doing stretching exercises, taking aspirin to prevent blood clotthing, and walking around the airplane.
