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 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.[1]
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).
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 ...
21 gru 2023 · Mural thrombi are blood clots that form within the heart or blood vessels, often associated with conditions that disrupt normal blood flow or promote clotting. This comprehensive guide has provided an overview of the causes, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options for mural thrombi.
A calcified LVT was defined as a persistent left ventricular mural thrombus encapsulated by thickened and calcified endocardium. Left ventricular characteristics including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular volume, wall motion, cardiac output, and potential mechanical complications were also collected.
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.
