Description
A research team pooled past studies on a rare harm of atrial fibrillation, the common heart rhythm fault, reporting in 2025. Clots from the heart can block blood flow to the gut, spleen, or kidneys, yet these events are often lumped in with stroke counts and stay poorly tracked.
The team searched four large databases through September 2024 and found 12 studies with 329,128 patients. They scored study quality and grouped results by how each study defined the events, since pooled rates varied a great deal. New European scoring rules that drop sex as a risk factor frame the review. Clinicians gain a clearer map of how often these clots strike and who faces the most risk.
