[quote=Anonymous]You can get a clot at any time, OP, even as a younger, supposedly healthy, person. Atherosclerosis (fatty plaques in arteries) greatly increases the risk of clots. Some auto-immune markers and specific clotting factors also increase the risk of clots. When the doctor said that your parent's cardio check-up was good - he or she meant "good for her age". Which means clots can happen at any time, even if blood pressure is normal, cholesterol and triglycerides are normal, etc. Best wishes to your parent. [/quote]
