Cardiac embolism is a medical condition characterized by the migration of a blood clot, known as an embolus, to the heart's blood vessels. This occurrence disrupts the normal flow of blood and poses a significant threat to cardiovascular health. The embolus can originate within the heart's chambers or arteries or travel from other parts of the body, such as the lungs or pelvic veins. The risk of complications, including strokes or heart attacks, is inherent in cases of cardiac embolism. Preventive measures and management strategies often include the use of anticoagulant medications to minimize the formation of blood clots. Timely identification of underlying causes and risk factors is crucial for effective medical intervention to address and alleviate the impact of cardiac embolism on overall heart health.
