Within a week the patient re-presented with chest pain and troponin I of 38. Her INR on presentation was 3.2. On TTE, the MV mass had disappeared except for a residual stump (Panel B). [academic.oup.com]
Case Presentation: Our patient is a 69 years old Caucasian female with history of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes type 2 complicated with ESRD on hemodialysis, and hypothyroidism. Patient presented with symptoms of unstable angina. [shmabstracts.com]

If any one of these arteries gets blocked partially or completely, the blood flow to the heart will be reduced. This condition is called as Coronary artery disease or coronary heart disease 4. [slideshare.net]
The most common form of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), a narrowing of the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. [snmmi.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Osteoporosis
Beside chronic complications (repeated rejection, gradual progression of renal and hepatic insufficiency, osteoporosis, marrow suppression), deterioration of cardiac insufficiency and angiographically documented coronary disease of the graft, there appeared [sav.sk]
Neurologic
- Convulsions
Symptoms Findings often include agitation, restlessness, delirium, convulsions, coma, tachycardia, tachypnea, dyspnea, wheezing, blood-tinged sputum, and fever, esp. during the first 12 to 72 hr after injury or insult, when fat emboli are most likely [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Workup
As coronary emboli are a rarely reported phenomenon, no randomized trials or guidelines exist regarding diagnostic workup for these, although it would not be unreasonable to initiate workup for thrombophilia whenever appropriate diagnosis or suspicion [intechopen.com]
Treatment
We report the case of a 51-year-old woman receiving endobronchial treatment with neodymium:yttrium garnet laser After 30 minutes of stable anaesthesia and laser treatment, sudden inferior myocardial ischaemia developed followed by haemodynamic collapse [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Coronary angiography plays an important role in the etiology diagnosis and treatment of AMI (2). [jtd.amegroups.com]
Prognosis
Its prevalence, clinical features, and prognosis remain insufficiently characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS: We screened 1776 consecutive patients who presented with de novo acute myocardial infarction between 2001 and 2013. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis in patients surviving the initial event is generally believed to be favorable. In patients who remain stable, conservative management seems to be safe and is compatible with a good long-term outcome. [journals.lww.com]
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Arterial Embolism depends on the location of the clot and the severity of the block. [dovemed.com]
The time it takes to receive treatment after the onset of blood clot symptom is paramount for improving prognosis, with sooner being better. [belmarrahealth.com]
Patients with ECG detected UMI have a similar long-term prognosis as patients with clinically recognized MIs [ 1 ]. [journals.plos.org]
Etiology
The presumed etiology of thromboembolism was idiopathic cardiomyopathy. A unique method of treatment with Fogarty catheter retrieval was used. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An association with infectious etiology may be present as well in this context [32]. 5. [intechopen.com]
Of these, atrial fibrillation is thought to be the most common etiology of coronary emboli, though there are few cases reported in the literature. [hindawi.com]
Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with a history of atrial flutter and recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds (GIBs) with no clear etiology identified presented for planned direct current synchronized cardioversion. [shmabstracts.com]
In summary, coronary embolism secondary to prosthetic valve is an uncommon etiology of myocardial infarction. [jpma.org.pk]

Angiographic appearance (localized filling defect on coronary angiography) combined with her past history of undertreated AF was highly suggestive of coronary artery embolus related to AF as the underline pathophysiology of STEMI. [hippokratia.gr]
Prevention
Measures to prevent recurrence should be considered. Optimum therapeutic strategy in preventing recurrent embolic events in patients with PFO is not established. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
