Left ventricular thrombus is a blood clot ( thrombus) in the left ventricle of the heart. LVT is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). [1] [2] Typically the clot is a mural thrombus, meaning it is on the wall of the ventricle. [3] The primary risk of LVT is the occurrence of cardiac embolism, [1] [4] in which the thrombus ...

[15] [35] After the appearance of Maniraptoromorpha, the next 40 million years marked a continuous reduction of body size and the accumulation of neotenic (juvenile-like) characteristics. Hypercarnivory became increasingly less common while braincases enlarged and forelimbs became longer. [15] The integument evolved into complex, pennaceous ...

It supplies the anterior portion of the left ventricle. [1] It provides about half of the arterial supply to the left ventricle and is thus considered the most important ...
The combined surface area of all red blood cells of the human body would be roughly 2,000 times as great as the body's exterior surface. [ 14 ] 4,000–11,000 leukocytes : [ 15 ] White blood cells are part of the body's immune system ; they destroy and remove old or aberrant cells and cellular debris, as well as attack infectious agents ...
