Diagnostic Evaluation
Thrombosis Formation and Induced Ischemia
The diagnostic evaluation of thrombosis begins with history and physical examination to assess for occlusion of the tissue artery/vein in each organ and to assess for organ-specific symptoms. Clinical and para-clinical signs and laboratory findings may be used to confirm the diagnosis. Individual organ thrombosis is discussed below:
- Unstable angina and MI:
- Clinical signs and symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, substernal discomfort
- Imaging and other diagnostics: new ECG findings (mainly ST segment changes and T wave inversions), elevation of cardiac tissue infarction (MI)-specific cardiac enzymes (troponin, CK-MB)
- Cerebral stroke and TIA:
- Clinical signs and symptoms: numbness, weakness, tingling, paresis, hemiplegia, slurred speech, imbalance
- Imaging and other diagnostics: occlusion or thrombosis noted on CT head or MRI
- Peripheral arterial occlusions:
- Clinical signs and symptoms: weakness, paresthesia, numbness, claudication
- Imaging and other diagnostics: filling defect or perfusion defect on CT angiography
- Atrial thrombosis:
- Clinical signs and symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion
- Imaging and other diagnostics: echocardiography
- Ventricular thrombosis:
- Clinical signs and symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion
- Imaging and other diagnostics: echocardiography
- Visceral arteries thrombosis:
- Clinical signs and symptoms: visceral pain, abdominal pain
- Imaging and other diagnostics: CT angiography of the renal, adrenal, mesenteric or splenic arteries; Doppler ultrasound
