What Is Pulmonary Embolism?
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition that often occurs in conjunction with deep vein thrombosis, where a blood clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, obstructing blood flow and potentially leading to life-threatening complications. At Cardiac Solutions, our approach to managing PE involves immediate and accurate diagnosis followed by an integrated treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of the condition. Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by experienced cardiologists who understand the critical nature of timely intervention in cases of pulmonary embolism.
Causes of Pulmonary Embolisms & Deep Vein Thrombosis
Major risk factors for DVT and PE include:
- Prolonged Immobility or Sedentary Lifestyle – Lack of movement can significantly increase the risk of blood clots. This is especially common among people who have been bedridden or travel long distances without movement.
- Recent Surgery, Especially Orthopedic or Major Surgery – Surgery often involves long periods of immobility both during and after the procedure, which increases the risk of developing blood clots.
- Genetic Predisposition to Blood Clotting Disorders – Individuals with genetic clotting disorders are at a higher risk of developing blood clots. Other factors, such as surgery or immobility, can compound this risk.
Recognizing the Symptoms of DVT & PE
Key deep vein thrombosis symptoms and pulmonary embolism symptoms to watch for include:
- Unexplained Swelling or Pain in the Legs, Often Only on One Side – This symptom typically indicates the presence of a blood clot in the leg, which is a characteristic sign of deep vein thrombosis.
- Sudden Shortness of Breath, Sharp Chest Pain, or Coughing Up Blood – These symptoms may indicate a pulmonary embolism, a serious condition that requires immediate medical intervention to prevent severe complications.
