An atrial thrombus is a blood clot that has formed in the atria of the heart. Atrial thrombi often occur in people with heart disease, especially atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm disorder.
In the animation, a thrombus is shown in the left atrium. It breaks loose, travels from the left ventricle into the aorta and via the carotid artery into the brain. There it blocks a blood vessel supplying the brain and triggers a stroke.
