Increased Levels of Markers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Patients with Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Predispose to Left Atrial Thrombus Formation

Increased Levels of Markers of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Patients with Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Predispose to Left Atrial Thrombus Formation

Background: Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) causes stagnation of blood flow, leading to thrombus formation in the left atrium (LA), which may lead to systemic thromboembolic complications. We compared alterations in circulating levels of pro-/anti–oxidants and markers of inflammation in patients...
