Thromboembolism or atherothromboembolism in atrial fibrillation?
A trial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased morbidity , mortality, and ischemic stroke, 1 and these isch-emic strokes are almost always severe. 2 Thrombus formation in the left atrium with ensuing embolism in the cerebral circulation is deemed to be the cause. 2 According to the Virchow's triad, hypercoagulability, endo-thelial dysfunction, and venous stasis should be prerequisite fo...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation and Thromboembolism in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.
A bidirectional relationship exists between atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic renal disease. Patients with AF have a higher incidence of renal dysfunction, and the latter predisposes to incident AF. The coexistence of both conditions results in a higher risk for thromboembolic-related adverse events but a paradoxical increased hemorrhagic risk. Oral anticoagulants (both vitamin K antagonists...
متن کاملLeft atrial appendage: structure, function, and role in thromboembolism.
The left atrial appendage (LAA) is derived from the left wall of the primary atrium, which forms during the fourth week of embryonic development. It has developmental, ultrastructural, and physiological characteristics distinct from the left atrium proper. The LAA lies within the confines of the pericardium in close relation to the free wall of the left ventricle and thus its emptying and filli...
متن کاملRight atrial myxoma mistaken for recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism.
A 69 year old man was admitted for investigation of right sided pleuritic chest pain and dyspnoea, both of which began suddenly four days before admission. Acute pulmonary embolism was diagnosed. Six months after discharge while on warfarin he died. Necropsy found a 50 mm diameter myxoid tumour arising on the right atrial side of the interatrial septum. This lesion may have been discovered earl...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation, thromboembolism, and haemostasis: causal or casual associations?
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia (1, 2) and is associated with an increased risk of death (3). In addition to the hemodynamic consequences such as loss of atrial contraction and loss of the chronotropic response to increased circulatory demands, atrial fibrillation causes important morbidity and mortality due to thromboembolic events, mainly stroke and myocardial infarc...
