Question 32

Pulmonary emboli

Answer 32

A clot breaks loose within a patient’s artery and floats through the vascular system until it lodges somewhere between the heart and the lungs. The condition is extremely painful, has immediate onset, and very often ends in death.

Question 33

myocardial infarction

Answer 33

Heart attack. Nice-to-Know Information
Three major vessels supply blood to the heart. When these vessels become tight or partially occluded, the doctor may order a blood thinner (usually coumadin), which prolongs the process of blood clotting. This makes it less likely that the patient will develop a blood clot (thrombus) that might block off an occluded artery.

Question 34

Stroke

Answer 34

A thrombus may also float to the brain and block its blood supply. This is called a stroke. High blood pressure can also cause a cerebral bleed, which can be exacerbated by blood thinners. This is also called a stroke. The cerebral bleed type of stroke most often ends in death.
