Key result
This morphological review focuses on migrating thrombi, systemic conditions associated with intracardiac thrombi, and their echocardiographic detection.
This review discusses the etiology of migrating intracardiac thrombi and their detection via echocardiography.
Echocardiographic vigilance for migrating thrombi may aid detection in systemic conditions; leaves open prospective validation of management strategies.
Intracardiac thrombus may develop as a consequence of multiple underlying cardiac disorders. Other systemic disorders may predispose formation of thrombus within the heart, or the heart may be the site of emboli in transit--thrombus originating elsewhere and traveling through the heart to the pulmonary or arterial circulation. Part V of this five-part series on intracardiac thrombus will focus on "migrating thrombi," miscellaneous systemic conditions associated with intracardiac thrombi, and echocardiographic detection of intracardiac thrombus.

Waller et al. (1995) conducted a review in Intracardiac thrombus. This morphological review focuses on migrating thrombi, systemic conditions associated with intracardiac thrombi, and their echocardiographic detection.
