Risk of thromboembolic events

The risk of thromboembolic events refers to the chance of blood clots forming inside blood vessels and potentially traveling through the bloodstream. These clots can block blood flow to vital organs like the brain, lungs, or legs, leading to serious conditions such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis. Factors increasing this risk include certain medical conditions, surgeries, prolonged immobility, or specific medications. Managing this risk involves medical assessment and preventive strategies to reduce the likelihood of dangerous clot formation and ensure blood flows smoothly through the body.
