In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I understand old clots block my lung arteries, raise lung pressure, and strain the right side of my heart.
- I know CTEPH may follow a lung clot, but it can develop even if I do not remember having one.
- I know untreated CTEPH can worsen and may cause low oxygen, fainting, right-heart failure, or death.
- I help prevent new clots by taking my blood thinner as directed and avoiding long periods without movement.
