my ventricular septum is extremly thin & flops around like a flag. Blood collected there, formed a clot. When I got to the hospital the doctors told me I had a stroke & after a TEE they told me I had an very large aneurysm starting in heart & went to my brain. Then said what was wrong with my heart. They said nothing could be done for the septum, that was eight years ago. Has anything changed? Have you ever heard of this? I am a 60 year old female. This was not hereditary no other health issues.
Aneurysm is weakening of the heart or blood vessel due to weakening of wall. You might have painless heart attack years ago, and in the process muscles of heart wall are replaced by non-pliant fiber because of which that part of heart balloons out while heart is contracting. The stagnant blood there gets clotted and part of that clot can get dislodged and migrate to brain by blood vessel to cause stroke.
