The Deadly Journey: A Clot’s Roadmap to Your Heart

PHASE 1: The Silent Birth (DVT in Leg)

Tightening of muscles is the initial step of the process. Having bloating is a key trait of younger calves. You blame your mistake mainly on your habit of going to the gym. Nonetheless, when a clot forms in your blood vessels, a group of platelets comes together to try and clog the blood vessel, which may cause immediate death.

PHASE 2: The Great Escape of DVT(Clot Breakaway

When a person coughs, falls, or lands, this increases the risk of the clot tearing. As they are made, chemical signals travel with the bloodstream to the brain. Its target? Emotions do not originate inside the brain. It is not located in your lung. Your HEART.”

 PHASE 3: Heart Attack by Proxy (Pulmonary Embolism)

When a person coughs, falls, or ends up in a particular position, there is a greater chance of the clot tearing. After making chemicals, these hormones travel to the brain by moving via the blood. Its target? Emotions are created by things inside the body rather than the brain. When you have lung cancer, the cancer is not located in your lung. Your HEART.”

The Physics Disaster of DVT:

• Blood vessels in lungs are blocked by a clot➜ Blood flow is cut off to the lungs
  • If the right side of the heart pumps the blood too forcefully, oxygen levels drop substantially.
  • A lack of blood to the left heart starves the heart → Starvation leads to the suffocation of the heart → Results in heart attack

Key Point: Opposite to a clogged artery heart attack, this form of heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked and is especially dangerous.

Why Doctors Miss the Connection of DVT

• It is often thought that sudden chest pain implies a heart attack.
• The first doctor believed that the swelling of his leg came from overexerting his muscles.
• Angiograms Search for Blockages everywhere Except in the Heart: Thus, Angiograms only show problems that do not relate to heart blockages.

Delays to find plaque are dangerous, reducing every ten minutes without treatment by 10%.

Red Flags: When DVT Is Plotting a Heart Attack

STAGE 1: Early Warnings (DVT Building)

• There is swelling in just one leg below the knee
• Warming and reddening legs without an explanation
• A cramp that persists and is difficult to get rid of

 STAGE 2: Heart Under Siege (PE Strike)

• Unbearable pain in the chest that can’t only be explained by high blood pressure
• A rapid pulse of more than 100 bpm together with gasping breaths
• The victim suffers from bluish lips/nails (lack of oxygen in the body).
• Dizziness often leads to somebody collapsing.

High-Risk Targets of DVT: Is Your Body a Clot Factory?

• By making these commitments, you create risks for yourself.
• You suffer from atrial fibrillation, heart failure, or you have just undergone surgery.
• You might use birth control pills or tobacco if you wish.
• During the day, you are seated for your work or on a plane for over 4 hours.
• Have in mind that Carry Factor V Leiden (a genetic issue) could lead to risks in your future.

More than a third of DVT heart attacks result in death before somebody realizes what is happening.
