Ironically, this is a sports drink, meant to be consumed while exercising. That makes matters even worse since your heart rate and blood pressure increases during exercise. That elevates the risk of blockages even more if platelet clumps are present.
As an aside, people take low dose aspirin to prevent platelets from clotting (many people mistakenly think that it's a blood thinner). Consuming Erythritol has the opposite effect.

Erythritol Levels: Consuming erythritol-sweetened drinks does increase erythritol levels in the blood, but the claim that it increases "natural levels 1000x" lacks context. Natural levels of erythritol are quite low, and while consumption does elevate these levels, the extent of the increase varies and is not typically as dramatic as stated.
Platelet Clumping and Cardiovascular Risk: Some studies have suggested a possible association between high levels of erythritol in the blood and an increased risk of cardiovascular events like stroke and heart attacks. However, this research is still in the early stages, and causation has not been established. The mechanisms through which erythritol might influence platelet function and cardiovascular risk are not fully understood, and more research is needed to draw definitive conclusions.
Risk Duration: The claim that the heightened risk lasts 2-3 days is not substantiated by the current scientific literature. While erythritol is metabolized and excreted relatively quickly (within a day or so), the long-term effects of repeated consumption on cardiovascular health are not well-documented.

"Blood erythritol levels increased 1,000-fold and remained substantially elevated for several days. For at least two days, the erythritol levels grew more than high enough to trigger changes in platelet function."
