Left ventricular thrombus is a blood clot in the left ventricle of the heart. LVT is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). [1] [2] Typically the clot is a mural thrombus, meaning it is on the wall of the ventricle. [3]
4 lip 2023 · Mural thrombus occurrence in a normal or minimally atherosclerotic vessel is a rare entity in the absence of a hypercoagulative state or inflammatory, infectious, or familial aortic ailments. Mural thrombi can be seen in large vessels such as the heart and aorta and can restrict blood flow.
15 wrz 2022 · Studies using echocardiography have historically identified mural LV thrombi to be associated with a lower risk of embolism compared with protuberant or mobile LV thrombi. 23,82 Despite a lack of correlative pathological imaging studies, mural thrombi detected by imaging are often considered organized (and thus with lower thromboembolic ...
Mural Thrombi of the Left Ventricle. John R. Stratton, M.D. Download PDF. The diagnosis of left ventricular thrombus is of potential clinical importance in identifying patients at risk for systemic embolization. Over the past years, several sophisticated methods capable of detecting thrombus have been developed.
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a feared complication of LV dysfunction associated with high rates of systemic embolism, morbidity, and mortality. Traditionally, LV thrombus has been associated with acute myocardial infarction (MI).
4 lip 2023 · Mural thrombi can invade any cardiac chamber. Left ventricular thrombus is a frequent complication of acute myocardial infarction, mostly with the involvement of the cardiac apex. This thrombus can separate from the ventricle and travel through arteries, blocking any blood vessels.
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus development following acute myocardial infarction is driven by the elements of Virchow’s triad: endothelial injury, blood stasis, and hypercoagulability. Each of these components further serves as a therapeutic target in the treatment and prevention of left ventricular thrombus following acute myocardial infarction.
