Can deep vein thrombosis damage heart?


many web site talks the significance of DVT to the lung but does it also be fatal with heart?

It can damage the heart, but only usually the lungs. Remember that the venous blood will flow through the heart to the lungs before it has a chance to infuse the coronary arteries. Therefore, if a thrombus breaks away into an embolus, it is much more likely to block the arteries in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).

if you mean can DVT cause death ? its yes it can .. & it can affect the heart . if a part of the thrombus was detached ( a big one ) & was embolised & stuck in the atrial valves
