The pulmonary embolism occurs when there is a blockage of the main lung artery. Most of the times it is caused by thrombosis resulting a blood clot in the body. The clot travels in the blood stream and in the case with the pulmonary embolism, blocks the lung artery. The condition might be diagnosed with echocardiography as it is shown in the video.
