That sounds right to me. When I had DVTs, P.E.s, and a blocked “widow maker”, my heart surgeon pointed at the x-ray saying “these are totally due to your inflammation”
I've read a statistic that as sufferers are 60 times more likely to suffer a heart attack. I've read some lower numbers to but definitely seams to an increased risk. Not sure why exactly but I have had a large blood clot in the femoral artery.
