Scientists discover how clots cause heart attacks and strokes
Stopping blood clots could make a huge difference to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Scientists at the University of Birmingham have discovered how clots form a barrier around the heart that kills cancer cells passing through the arteries which is major risk for cancer patients.
The discovery dated back six months to October in international collaboration with Johns Hopkins Medicine Georgetown University in the US sheds new light on clots that between 5 and 10 of people are not even aware of suffering in the heart.
