Pratik Yadav passes away
On May 13, Prateek Yadav, younger son of Samajwadi Party founder and former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, passed away. His age was only 38 years. In recent times, he was facing difficulty in breathing and the problem of blood clotting in the veins of his legs. The post mortem report listed the cause of his death as pulmonary thrombo embolism. In this condition, blood clotting affects the functioning of the heart and lungs, which can lead to sudden death of the person.
What is pulmonary thrombo embolism?
After Prateek’s death, the blood clotting disease Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) has again come into discussion. It is important to know when a blood clot forms in the body. When there is an injury in the body, a clot forms to stop the flow of blood. Sometimes, even without injury, blood starts clotting in the veins. If the blood clot becomes large, it can break off and travel to other parts of the body, which is called deep vein thrombosis. When these clots reach the veins of the lungs, it is called pulmonary thrombo embolism (PTE), which can be fatal.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, symptoms of pulmonary thromboembolism include leg pain, swelling, warmth, severe chest pain, cough, pale skin, dizziness and fainting.
