One again it makes me think that fit people are quite possibly more prone to developing DVT than a) researchers etc. think they are; and b) than perhaps the "average" person who is neither obese and sedentary nor particularly athletic.

If you start looking you'll discover all sorts of athletes who have developed DVT.

And I still think it has something to do with the lower resting heart rate.
