What is meant by cardiogenic cerebral infarction

Cardiogenic cerebral infarction, also known clinically as cardiogenic cerebral embolism, is mainly due to occlusion of the cerebral vessels as a result of the dislodgement of cardiac emboli. Cardiogenic cerebral infarction can be seen mainly in atrial fibrillation, which causes atrial appendage thrombosis and leads to the dislodgement of the embolus, which flows with the blood flow to the cerebral vessels and causes the cerebral vessels to become occluded. Cardiogenic cerebral infarction can also be seen in patients with congenital heart disease, such as congenital patent foramen ovale as well as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, all of which can present with cardiogenic cerebral embolism. In patients with cardiogenic disease, anticoagulation therapy can be given to the patient if necessary to prevent the formation of appendicular thrombus. If the patient has congenital heart disease, its to be blocked, etc.
