Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) Varicose veins can lead to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can break off and cause a pulmonary embolism. 2) Smoking damages the blood vessels and increases the risk of clot formation. 3) Obesity is associated with a higher risk of DVT and subsequently pulmonary embolism. Asthma is not directly related to the risk of developing pulmonary emboli.
