A 70-year-old woman was brought to our hospital by ambulance due to syncope and hemiparalysis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and an electrocardiogram (ECG) showed the cerebral infarction and ST elevation without chest pain. The neurological findings were improved at the emergency outpatient service, therefore an emergency coronary angiography and aspiration for the thrombus was performed for acute myocardial infarction. An electrocardiogram monitor revealed asymptomatic and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) on the third day. In the other case, an 88-year-old woman was admitted to ambulatory care for abdominal pain, and the abdominal ultrasound showed findings of splenic infarction. Although there were no chest symptoms, AF was observed on the electrocardiogram at the time of admission. And endoscopic ultrasonography and brain MRI during hospitalization showed splenic infarction and multiple infarctions. Here, we report two cases with multiple thromboembolic complications associated with asymptomatic AF.
一名70岁女性因晕厥和偏瘫被救护车送往我院。脑部磁共振成像(MRI)和心电图(ECG)显示脑梗死和ST段抬高,无胸痛。神经学检查结果在急诊门诊有所改善,因此对急性心肌梗死进行了急诊冠状动脉造影和血栓抽吸。心电图监测在第三天显示无症状阵发性心房颤动(AF)。另一例,一名88岁女性因腹痛入住门诊护理,腹部超声显示脾梗死。尽管没有胸部症状,但入院时心电图显示有房颤。住院期间的内镜超声检查和脑部MRI显示脾梗死和多处梗死。在此,我们报告两例与无症状房颤相关的多发血栓栓塞并发症病例。
