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 detaches from the ventricular wall and travels through the circulation and ...
The main pathophysiology of heart failure is a reduction in the efficiency of the heart muscle, through damage or overloading. As such, it can be caused by a wide number of conditions, including myocardial infarction (in which the heart muscle is starved of oxygen and dies), hypertension (which increases the force of contraction needed to pump blood) and cardiac amyloidosis (in which misfolded ...
The pathophysiology of MR can be broken into three phases of the disease process: the acute phase, the chronic compensated phase, and the chronic decompensated phase. [citation needed] Mild mitral regurgitation. The colored cloud symbolizes the return blood flow. 1. left ventricle, 2. left atrium
Pathophysiology (or physiopathology) is a branch of study, at the intersection of pathology and physiology, concerning disordered physiological processes that cause ...
Thrombophlebitis causes include disorders related to increased tendency for blood clotting and reduced speed of blood in the veins such as prolonged immobility; prolonged traveling (sitting) may promote a blood clot leading to thrombophlebitis but this occurs relatively less.
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) or veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency is a potentially life-threatening condition in which some of the small veins in the liver are obstructed.
This switch causes deoxygenated blood from the right heart to be pumped immediately through the aorta and circulated throughout the body and the heart itself, bypassing the lungs altogether. In this same condition, the left heart continuously pumps oxygenated blood back into the lungs through the pulmonary artery, instead of out into the body's ...
Pathophysiology is a quarterly peer-reviewed medical journal covering pathology and pathophysiology. It was established in 1994 and was originally published by Elsevier on behalf of the International Society for Pathophysiology. It was established by Toshikazu Yoshikawa, who was also its first editor-in-chief. [1]
