Multiple Large Atrial Thrombus Due To Rheumatic Heart Disease and Present of Atrial Fibrillation With No Sign of Stroke : How Is It Possible?
ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia associated with stroke and in the rheumatic heart disease patient’s atrial fibrillation can easily cause thromboembolism. Thromboembolism is the major complication also in patients of mitral stenosis with atrial fibrillation. A 54-year-o...

| Summary: | ABSTRACT
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia associated with stroke and in the rheumatic heart disease patient’s atrial fibrillation can easily cause thromboembolism. Thromboembolism is the major complication also in patients of mitral stenosis with atrial fibrillation. A 54-year-old woman with uncontrollable movements in the right arm, stomach, right leg and painful swelling at right ankle joint was admitted to the emergency department. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed rheumatic heart disease affecting two valves and thrombus in left atrial extending towards left atrial appendage. Heart rate was 120 beats per minute. ECG showed atrial fibrillation. A patient has undergone mitral and aortic valves replacement surgery and left atrial thrombus evacuation. Despite the involvement of two heart valves and the presence of large thrombus, the patient did not show any sign of brain infarction. This is a contradiction with a theory which implies that atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia associated with stroke and in the rheumatic heart disease patient’s atrial fibrillation can easily cause thromboembolism and become stroke. This study evaluates many factors founded in the patient that make this anomaly may happen. |
