Left Ventricular Thrombus: Contemporary Etiologies, Treatment Strategies, and Outcomes

[...]the incidence of LV thrombus is relatively low, with only 128 cases diagnosed over a 7-year period at a large tertiary-care hospital. [...]35% with LV thrombus discharged on anticoagulation did not undergo follow-up imaging at our health care facility within 1 year of diagnosis. [...]the most common precipitating factor for LV thrombus in the contemporary era is HF; most LV thrombi are detected early after HF diagnoses on limited background GDMT.
