What is the medical term for blood stopping?
The medical term for blood stopping is hemostasis, which is the body's natural process of preventing and stopping bleeding. It involves blood vessel constriction, platelet aggregation, and blood clot formation to seal off the damaged blood vessel.
What are the platelets responsible for?
Platellets have the ability to clump together to form a blood clot to stop bleeding when an injury occurs. When functioning properly, platellets do this when cuts or injuries occur. They should not clump together inside a blood vessel, where they can cause problems such as a heart attack, stroke, blood clot in leg, or break off and travel through the blood, known as emboli.
What is the relationship between venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli?
'venous thrombosis' is a blood clot in a vein. Sometimes these blood clots can break off from where there are and travel 'embolize' to the lung 'pulmonary'. When the blood clot travels to the lung, it will get stuck in an vessel in the lung and block flow in that branch of the blood vessel. In some medical studies, as many as 40% of people with blood clots in their legs or pelvis will have a PE, or pulmonary embolis. These are often small and go un-noticed. Unfortunately they can also be very serious and even lead to death.

What cardiovascular disorders are the direct result of blood clots?
If the clot forms in an artery that supplies blood to the heart, for example, it can cause a heart attack. A clot that cuts off blood to the brain can cause a stroke.
What are the difference between heart attack and a stroke?
Heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked by a blood clot. Without oxygenated blood, the heart muscle begins to die.Stroke is a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Stroke happens when a blood vessel feeding the brain gets clogged or bursts.
