Anatomical factors of intracavitary thrombus formation in the pathogenesis of cardioembolic stroke

Abstract

Cardioembolic stroke, like other types of acute cerebrovascular disorders, is a global priority medical and social problem. This review analyzes the role of anatomical factors, which, along with other factors of thrombus formation in the heart chambers, may represent an important and yet insufficiently studied link in the pathogenesis of this disease.
