Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a feared complication of LV dysfunction associated with high rates of systemic embolism, morbidity, and mortality. Traditionally, LV thrombus has been associated with acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Management of LV thrombus (LVT) is challenging and crucial to prevent the potential development of thromboembolic complications such as stroke. Anticoagulation with warfarin is recommended for the prevention of thromboembolic events, but novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have been used in clinical practice without supporting evidence.
1 maj 2023 · The optimal management of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) remains controversial. Despite decreasing incidence with improvements in early percutaneous revascularization, LVT is estimated to occur after 6.3% of ST elevation myocardial infarctions.1 Because a key tenet of Virchow's triad for thrombosis includes blood stasis, nonischemic ...
We aimed to improve the diagnosis and management of LV thrombus at a tertiary cardiology centre using quality improvement methodology. Outcomes included increasing the use of DOACs from 25% to 70% over a period of 1 year and shorten length of time from diagnosis to repeat imaging to within 3–6 months as recommended by guidelines.
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a feared complication of LV dysfunction associated with high rates of systemic embolism. However, contemporary data are lacking. Methods. We identified patients diagnosed with LV thrombus on echocardiography (±contrast) at Brigham and Women's Hospital between January 2008 and May 2015. Results.
25 sty 2023 · Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a known complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and other cardiomyopathies. LVT increases the risk of stroke and systemic embolism, hence treatment with oral anticoagulation is indicated.
