Question

How do blood clots affect the heart?

Answer 1

Blood clots are clumps that occur when blood hardens from a liquid to a solid.

A blood clot that forms inside one of your veins or arteries is called a thrombus. A thrombus may also form in your heart.

A thrombus that breaks loose and travels from one location in the body to another is called an embolus.

Answer 2

Heya mate!! Here is ur answer:-

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) may lead to a pulmonary embolism.If there is a blood clot or thrombus in a deep vein of the leg or arm, it has the potential to break off (embolize) and flow through the veins toward the heart, and into the lung where it can become lodged in a pulmonary artery, which prevents the lung .
