Introduction
Conditions associated with high probability of embolism
- atrial fibrillation
- endocarditis & other valvular vegetations
- recent myocardial infarction
- akinetic heart segment
- dilated cardiomyopathy with ejection fraction < 35%
- intracardiac thrombus or tumor
- prosthetic valve
- right to left shunt associated with venous thrombosis
- spontaneous atrial contrast 'smoke' on transesophageal echocardiogram
Conditions associated with low probability of embolism
- mitral valve prolapse
- atrial flutter
- remote myocardial infarction
- left ventricular hypertrophy
- hypokinetic heart segment
- mitral valve annular calcification
- calcific aortic stenosis
Conditions associated with indeterminant probability of embolism
- right to left shunt without associated venous thrombosis
More specific terms
- atrial fibrillation (AF)
- atrial septal aneurysm
- atrial septal defect (ASD)
- dilated cardiomyopathy
