Pulmonary embolism in young people is considered to be related to obesity, smoking and fractures.
1. Obesity,
if it is fat, will lead to hypercoagulability of blood, thus causing deep vein thrombosis and increasing the probability of pulmonary embolism.
2. Smoking
tobacco contains harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, tar and nicotine. Long-term smoking will lead to increased blood viscosity, narrowing of vascular channels, and persistent spasm of blood vessels. In the long run, it will lead to vascular wall damage and induce pulmonary embolism.
3. Fracture,
if there is a history of fracture, will lead to local vascular endothelial damage, blood stasis, and venous thrombosis.
