A fib is a well-established risk factor for ischemic strokes. In patients with nonvalvular A fib, the majority of embolic strokes are caused by thrombi development in the left atrial appendage. Systemic anticoagulation (AC) is effective in reducing stroke risk in patients with A fib. 5,661 underwent percutaneous closure.

The heart has four valves (aortic, mitral, pulmonic, and tricuspid) that open and close to move blood through the heart and to the rest of the body. If a valve cannot open or close fully it can interfere with blood flow and cause a host of health issues, including heart attack and stroke. and affects an estimated 1.6 million people.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a common complication of atrial myxoma (AM), and most emboli originate from a thrombus attached to the surface of the myxoma, with occasional shedding of tumor fragments leading to stroke. Clinical manifestations of AM include mitral valve obstruction, systemic embolism, and weakness.
