Difference between Pulmonary embolism and Thrombus

Pulmonary embolism vs. Thrombus

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). A thrombus, colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis.

Antithrombin

Antithrombin (AT) is a small protein molecule that inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation system.

Coagulation

Coagulation (also known as clotting) is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot.

Deep vein thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly the legs.

Embolism

An embolism is the lodging of an embolus, a blockage-causing piece of material, inside a blood vessel.

Fat embolism

A fat embolism (which via major trauma may progress to fat embolism syndrome) is a type of embolism in which the embolus consists of fatty material.

Myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle.

Prothrombin time

The prothrombin time (PT)—along with its derived measures of prothrombin ratio (PR) and international normalized ratio (INR)—are assays evaluating the extrinsic pathway of coagulation.

Shock (circulatory)

Shock is the state of low blood perfusion to tissues resulting in cellular injury and inadequate tissue function.

Stroke

A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death.

Thrombolysis

Thrombolysis is the breakdown (lysis) of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication.

Tissue plasminogen activator

Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA or PLAT) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots.

Virchow's triad

Virchow's triad or the triad of Virchow describes the three broad categories of factors that are thought to contribute to thrombosis.
