Blood clots (thrombus) formation in the left heart is one of the most feared complication after the myocardial infarction. The formation of clots is resulted by the complex interaction between the hemodynamics and the biochemical reactions. In this video, the blood flow pattern and the accumulation of key coagaulation factor, thrombin (Factor IIa) in the patient specific, infarcted left ventricle are visualized based on the coupled hemodynamic and biochemcial simulations.
