2. Left ventricular thrombus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_thrombus

   Left ventricular thrombus is a blood clot ( thrombus) 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] The primary risk of LVT is the occurrence of cardiac embolism, [1] [4] in which the thrombus ...

3. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

   This blood clot may then restrict blood flow within the heart, leading to heart tissue damage, or a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. [1] Coronary thrombosis is most commonly caused as a downstream effect of atherosclerosis, a buildup of cholesterol and fats in the artery walls. The smaller vessel diameter allows less blood ...

4. Management of acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_acute...

   Management of acute coronary syndrome is targeted against the effects of reduced blood flow to the affected area of the heart muscle, usually because of a blood clot in one of the coronary arteries, the vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the myocardium. This is achieved with urgent hospitalization and medical therapy, including drugs that ...

5. Thrombus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombus

   Thrombus. A thrombus ( pl. thrombi ), colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis. There are two components to a thrombus: aggregated platelets and red blood cells that form a plug, and a mesh of cross-linked fibrin protein. The substance making up a thrombus is sometimes called cruor.

6. Left atrial appendage occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_appendage...

   The left atrial appendage is a pouch-like structure located in the upper part of the left atrium. [ 1] Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative therapy to oral anticoagulation in a certain subset of patients with atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an irregular and uncoordinated pumping function of the ...

7. Thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombosis

   Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) 'clotting') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss.
