MedlinePlus: A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery. the cause is usually a blood clot in the leg called a deep vein thrombosis that breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lung. pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that can cause
permanent damage to the affected lung
low oxygen levels in your blood
damage to other organs in your body from not getting enough oxygen
if a clot is large, or if there are many clots, pulmonary embolism can cause death.
half the people who have pulmonary embolism have no symptoms. if you do have symptoms, they can include shortness of breath, chest pain or coughing up blood. symptoms of a blood clot include warmth, swelling, pain, tenderness and redness of the leg. the goal of treatment is to break up clots and help keep other clots from forming.

MalaCards: Pulmonary Embolism, also known as pulmonary artery embolism, is related to thrombosis and antithrombin iii deficiency. An important gene associated with Pulmonary Embolism is PLAT (plasminogen activator, tissue), and among its related pathways are Common Pathway and Gamma-carboxylation of protein precursors. The drugs alteplase,recombinant and anistreplase and the compounds cyclophosphamide and danaparoid have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, heart and lung, and related mouse phenotypes are hematopoietic system and reproductive system. CDC: DVT/PE are often underdiagnosed and serious, but preventable medical conditions. It is important to know about DVT because it can happen to anybody at any age and can cause serious illness, disability, and in some cases, death. The good news is that DVT is preventable and treatable if discovered early.2 Wikipedia: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a...44 more... |
