Acute mesenteric ischemia risk factors
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Acute mesenteric ischemia can be grossly divided into three main pathologies, each of which have different risk factors. Occlusive arterial mesenteric ischemia has mainly heart related problems like atrial fibrillation, CAD and heart failure as risk factors. Occlusive venous mesenteric ischemia is associated with inherited and acquired hypercoagulable state. As for non occlusive mesentenric ischemia, it is associated with digitalis use and conditions associated with systemic hypoperfusion.
