Presentation
Key points Presents 50 real clinical cardiology cases Covers numerous disorders of the cardiac system Authored by recognised cardiologist Includes more than 217 images, illustrations and tables [books.google.com]
Abstract A 20-year-old woman with complex cyanotic congenital heart disease, including severe congenital mitral stenosis and intact atrial septum, who developed a left atrial ball thrombus and an embolic phenomenon, is presented. [wwww.unboundmedicine.com]
The clinical presentation mainly depends on size and consistency of thrombus and associated valvular involvement. Here, we present two varied clinical presentations of LA thrombus with different sizes and consistency. [heartindia.net]
When rheumatic involvement of the mitral valve is concomitantly present with an ASD, ______________ syndrome is said to be present. [quizlet.com]
Case presentation We present the case of a 65 year old female with a history of mitral valve disease and chronic atrial fibrillation who suffered repeated embolic strokes and a giant infected clot in the left atrium. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

- Systolic Murmur
- Left atrial ball valve thrombus should be suspected if the patient with severe mitral valve stenosis and atrial fibrillation have intermittent or changing murmurs, syncope, mid-diastolic or pre-systolic murmurs may increase in intensity as a ball [afghan-heart.blogspot.com]

- Cardiomegaly
Chest X-ray posteroanterior view showed cardiomegaly with LA enlargement and pulmonary congestion. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed atrial fibrillation with fast ventricular rate. [annals.in]

Prognosis and Clinical Implications The importance of an LA thrombus depends on the clinical setting. - Left atrial ball valve thrombus should be suspected if the patient with severe mitral valve stenosis and atrial fibrillation have intermittent or changing [afghan-heart.blogspot.com]
Etiology
Echocardiography is also very useful to define etiology which causes HF such as myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease and congenital heart disease. [jaypeedigital.com]
Etiology MS is rheumatic in 99% cases. Rheumatic heart disease- Mitral – 65% Aortic- 35% Tricuspid- 6% Pulmonary- rare RHD is multivalvular in 38% cases. Rheumatic mitral valve disease- MS- 25% MS + MR- 40% Aschoff nodules are present in myocardium. [heartpearls.com]

Prevention
The operation was done with careful, gentle manipulation and with transesopha- geal echocardiography (TEE) to prevent intraoperative thromboembolism. The LA was approached through a left atriotomy from the right side. [docslide.com.br]
The ball valve thrombus (thin arrow) was prevented from sitting on to the mitral valve orifice by a hockey-shaped anterior mitral leaflet (thick arrow), which pushed it back into the LA repeatedly ( B, Online Videos 1 and 2 ). [onlinejacc.org]
