A member asked:
Is it true that over a long period of time of heart palpitations can cause blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : heart palpitations can range from Benign premature atrial contractions to sustained abnormal rhythms such as atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation /flutter can causes stasis of blood flow in a heart chamber from asynchronous atrio-ventricular contractions and hence blood pools so to speak and can form clots.
