Disease/Condition Glossary
A blood clot is a clump or aggregation of blood that changes from a liquid to a gel-like state. Clotting is a natural process that prevents you from losing too much blood in an accident, trauma, surgery or cut. When a clot forms inside the veins, it won’t always dissolve on its own and can become even life-threatening situation.
Stroke: When our brain does not get sufficient oxygen and blood supply, it starts dying within a few minutes leading to a heart attack or stroke.
Heart attack: It occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is most often an accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). During a heart attack (myocardial infarction), the blood supply which nourishes the heart with oxygen is cut off. This causes the heart muscle to die. Signs of a heart attack include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue and trouble breathing.
