Izifo zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi yizona ezibulala kakhulu ezisongela impilo kanye nempilo yabantu asebekhulile nabaneminyaka ephakathi nendawo. Ubuwazi ukuthi ezifweni zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi, u-80% wamacala abangelwa ukwakheka kwamahlule egazi emithanjeni yegazi. I-Thrombus yaziwa nangokuthi "umbulali ofihliwe" kanye "nombulali ofihliwe".

Ngokwezibalo ezifanele, ukufa okubangelwa yizifo ze-thrombosis kubalwe ku-51% wabantu abafa emhlabeni wonke, okungaphezulu kakhulu kokufa okubangelwa yizimila.

Isibonelo, i-coronary artery thrombosis ingabangela i-myocardial infarction, i-cerebral artery thrombosis ingabangela i-stroke (stroke), i-lower end artery thrombosis ingabangela i-gangrene, i-renal artery thrombosis ingabangela i-uremia, kanti i-fundus artery thrombosis ingabangela ubumpumputhe. Ingozi yokuphelelwa yi-deep vein thrombosis emaphethelweni angezansi ingabangela i-pulmonary embolism (okungaholela ekufeni okuzumayo).

I-anti-thrombosis iyisihloko esibalulekile kwezokwelapha. Kunezindlela eziningi zezokwelapha zokuvimbela i-thrombosis, futhi utamatisi ekudleni kwansuku zonke ungasiza ekuvimbeleni i-thrombosis. Ngithemba ukuthi wonke umuntu angazi ngaleli phuzu lolwazi olubalulekile: ucwaningo luthole ukuthi ingxenye yejusi katamatisi inganciphisa i-viscosity yegazi ngo-70% (ngomphumela we-anti-thrombotic), futhi lo mphumela wokunciphisa i-viscosity yegazi ungagcinwa amahora angu-18; olunye ucwaningo luthole ukuthi i-jelly eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ezungeze imbewu katamatisi inomphumela wokunciphisa ukuhlanganiswa kwama-platelet nokuvimbela i-thrombosis, zonke izinto ezine ezifana ne-jelly kumatamatisi zinganciphisa umsebenzi wama-platelet ngo-72%.
