Abstract
TORRES-MARTEL, José Miguel and BAUTISTA-HERNANDEZ, Karla Monserrat. Hereditary thrombophilia and intracardiac thrombus. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.3, pp.238-238. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2017.10.003.
Thrombophilia is a haematological condition that predisposes to venous and arterial thromboembolic events. It is also a predisposing factor in intracardiac thrombi in paediatrics, and must be suspected if there are no other factors that predispose to thrombosis. The case is presented on a patient with a history cerebral venous thrombosis, who was diagnosed with thrombophilia due to a homozygote G202010A mutation of the prothrombin gene. She developed a right atrial thrombus, which was treated with anticoagulation and echocardiography monitoring. The importance of performing an echocardiography evaluation is highlighted in patients with thrombophilia.
