Key result
Atherosclerotic coronary heart disease, particularly myocardial infarction, serves as a primary etiology for intracardiac thrombi frequently identified at necropsy.
This review highlights atherosclerotic coronary heart disease, specifically myocardial infarction, as a key etiology for the development of intracardiac thrombi.
Supports MI as major cause of intracardiac thrombi on pathology; leaves open relevance to contemporary imaging and management.
Intracardiac thrombus is a frequent finding at necropsy. Various cardiac disorders have been associated with its presence. Part II of this 5-part article focuses on atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (myocardial infarction) as an etiology for intracardiac thrombus.
