2. Left ventricular thrombus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_thrombus

   [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 detaches from the ventricular wall and travels through the circulation and blocks blood vessels. Blockage can be especially damaging in the heart or brain .

3. Thrombolysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombolysis

   Thrombolysis, also called fibrinolytic therapy, is the breakdown of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication.It is used in ST elevation myocardial infarction, stroke, and in cases of severe venous thromboembolism (massive pulmonary embolism or extensive deep vein thrombosis).

4. 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 ...

5. Splenic infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splenic_infarction

   Splenic infarction is a condition in which blood flow supply to the spleen is compromised, [1] leading to partial or complete infarction (tissue death due to oxygen shortage) in the organ. [2] Splenic infarction occurs when the splenic artery or one of its branches are occluded, for example by a blood clot. [3]

6. Hemopericardium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemopericardium

   Gross pathology of hemopericardium, with clotted blood surrounding the heart (in this case appearing yellow due to epicardial fat). Studies have shown that hemopericardium can occur spontaneously in people with essential thrombocythemia , although this is relatively rare. [ 7 ]

8. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   Treatment aims to preserve as much heart muscle as possible, and to prevent further complications. [28] Treatment depends on whether the myocardial infarction is a STEMI or NSTEMI. [72] Treatment in general aims to unblock blood vessels, reduce blood clot enlargement, reduce ischemia, and modify risk factors with the aim of preventing future ...

9. Atherosclerosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherosclerosis

   The result is the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) overlying the atheroma, which obstructs blood flow acutely. With the obstruction of blood flow, downstream tissues are starved of oxygen and nutrients. If this is the myocardium (heart muscle) angina (cardiac chest pain) or myocardial infarction (heart attack) develops. [citation needed]
