He blamed it on his recent Achilles heel surgery. Plausible deniability?
TICKER GUY:
@Ceiii2000 - If his doctor told him that he should immediately take a baseball bat to his face. He’s LYING and he knows it. No physician say much less a surgeon gets out of med school without understanding the basics of the circulatory system.
It is impossible for DVT to cause a heart attack. It’s actually an ingenious part of the human circulatory design. Oxygenated blood flows out of the lungs, into the heart and is pumped out into the aorta and then to everywhere else (including the coronary arteries.)
Returning blood goes through the other side of the heart and then through the lungs, in which the blood must flow at single-cell clearances to the capillary bed to exchange oxygen and CO2. A clot large enough to occlude a blood vessel thus cannot pass the lungs.
A clot in the venous circulation that breaks off can cause a PE by occluding the blood flow IN THE LUNGS and by doing so lead to necrosis, severe chest pain and coughing. It can kill you very dead too, but they are treatable and, in many cases, with only mild permanent damage.
Occlusive heart attacks and strokes are caused by clotting that ORIGINATES no further in the circulation than the EXIT from the lungs back to the heart for this reason.
*****If you get BOTH a PE and occlusive heart attack at the same time the clotting that caused it was undifferentiated and that is NOT a function of surgery on your leg!*****
