Question

What Is pulmonary Embolism?

Answer 1

Pulmonary Embolism

1. A pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of your lungs' pulmonary arteries.
2. Blood clots from deep veins in the legs or, in rare situations, veins in other parts of the body, migrate to the lungs and cause pulmonary embolism (deep vein thrombosis).

Effects:

1. Pulmonary embolism is life-threatening because the clots impede blood flow to the lungs.
2. Prompt treatment, on the other hand, dramatically minimizes the risk of mortality.
3. Taking precautions to avoid blood clots in your legs can help you avoid pulmonary embolism.
