Blood Clot-straight To My Heart

I visited the gynecologist to have a yearly exam, she stated i needed to be on a low dose of estrogen, because i had had a hysterectomy years before (like 6 yrs), and i was at risk for osteporosis). I advised her i smoked heavily, it was asked on the new patient form. She gave me no indication that i could get a blood clot being that i am over 35 (i am 39) and that i smoke. Last weds i had a big clot that went to my heart and caused a heart attack. I have great doctors, and they said i am lucky to be alive. I now have damage to my heart. I quit smoking. The hematologist is doing major blood work, sending it to all parts of the country to see why i got the blook clot, but we think it's because of that estrogen patch she gave me, smoking, and being close to 40. Has this happend to anyone else? I am a little more then peaved that she didnt discuss the risks of blood clots with me, she only discussed the risks of not wearing the patch and getting osteoporis. grrr any feedback will be helpful.

I'm a 69 year old with a heart history, recently discharged from the hospital, 1st cath showed a 95% clot in RCA(right cor. art.) which they decided to treat with meds. After 3 days and another cath it was down to 85%. Discharged on plavix, metoprolol,and isosorbide. the later being 60 mg changed to 30mg because of headaches, severe. I did have angina the first day when I went in, but after that I haven't. does anyone know if isosorbide is used for dissolving the clot or strictly for angina. Thanks.
