Coronary thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel of the heart. This blood clot restricts blood flow within the heart. It is associated with narrowing of blood vessels subsequent to clotting. The condition is considered as a type of ischaemic heart disease. Thrombosis in the heart can lead to a myocardial infarction.
As plaques grow and injure blood vessels, thrombosis occurs to try to heal the damaged area, but end up further occluding the blood vessel. Angina pectoris is the most common symptom, but is absent in as many as Â¹/â of all CAD cases and heart attacks occur suddenly. Acute Coronary Syndromes.
