Final answer:

Thrombophilia condition leading to suspicion of pulmonary embolism.


Explanation:

Thrombophilia is a condition that increases the tendency to form blood clots. In this case, with a 45-year-old man presenting with sudden shortness of breath, the EMT should suspect pulmonary embolism due to the risk of a blood clot breaking free and traveling to lodge in a pulmonary artery, potentially causing serious consequences.
