Pulmonary embolism or blood clots in the lungs is a problem which occurs when one or even more arteries in the lungs are blocked. In many cases, blood clots in the lungs are caused by clots of blood that flow to your lungs from another area of the body â most frequently, your legs.
Blood clots are essential to stop bleeding after injury, but harmful blood clots can also form, causing serious damage. Most heart attacks and strokes result from the sudden formation of a blood clot on a cholesterol plaque inside an artery in the heart or brain. When the plaque ruptures suddenly, thrombogenic substances inside the plaque are exposed to blood, triggering the blood clotting process.
