Family History Of Embolisms
Individuals with a positive family history of pulmonary embolism or any embolism carry two times more risk of developing the condition at some point in their lives. In addition, the people with more than one relative suffering from pulmonary embolism are at four time higher risk of developing the chronic condition. The studies suggest that pulmonary embolism might run in families as some people have higher abilities to form blood clots too easily and more often.
