A blood clot starts in the leg—but what happens when it travels to the lungs? 🩸🫁
In this 3-minute video, we explain Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in simple, visual language and show how a clot can travel from a deep vein to the pulmonary arteries.
In this video, you'll learn:
🔹 What is pulmonary embolism?
🔹 How a DVT can lead to PE
🔹 How a clot travels through the heart
🔹 What happens when a pulmonary artery becomes blocked
🔹 Common symptoms and risk factors
🔹 How PE is diagnosed
🔹 The role of anticoagulation
🔹 Prevention and emergency warning signs
🧠 Key concept:
DVT → Clot detachment → Embolus → Pulmonary artery obstruction → Pulmonary embolism
