Why is there an increased risk for venous thrombosis after a heart attack?

After heart attack; I believe due to the damage of heart muscle leading to a reduced EF and possible clot formation within the heart, the person is at risk for venous thrombosis… ??

Please be more specific. Are you referring to the recovery period soon after the heart attack when the patient is not active? Or are you asking in general? You can find info on venous thrombosis on the web, if that helps.
