Arterial Thrombosis
A blood clot in an artery, known as arterial thrombosis, can seriously harm vital organs by preventing blood flow. Blood is transported from the heart to the body’s tissues and the heart muscle by arteries, which are blood vessels.
A blood clot typically causes no symptoms until it obstructs blood flow to specific body parts. A heart attack is among other severe issues that can result from this. A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is abruptly cut off, resulting in dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
People with fatty deposits (atherosclerosis) in their arteries are more susceptible to developing arterial thrombosis. The arteries become more rigid and narrower due to these deposits, raising the possibility of blood clots. Atherosclerosis risk factors include becoming older, smoking, eating unhealthy, being overweight, and getting insufficient exercise.
Although it is impossible to prevent blood clots completely, people can minimize their risk by reducing their likelihood of atherosclerosis. People may take key actions, including quitting smoking, eating a good diet, exercising frequently, and keeping a healthy weight.
