Management of Patients at Risk for and With Left Ventricular Thrombus: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Glenn N. Levine et al.

Summary: Despite advances in cardiovascular medicine, the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of left ventricular (LV) thrombus remain challenging. Limited guidelines exist, and current practice faces complex issues such as anticoagulant therapy, diagnostic modalities, and alternative treatments. This American Heart Association scientific statement addresses key clinical management questions and provides practical suggestions based on careful review of study data.

Clinical profile and midterm prognosis of left ventricular thrombus in heart failure

Anne-Iris Lemaitre et al.

Summary: The study focused on the midterm prognosis of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) in heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). The results showed that natriuretic peptide levels, especially BNP, play a significant role in the development of LVT in DCM patients. Symptomatic embolic events and/or all-cause mortality were observed in 20% of the population, with most cases occurring within 30 days of LVT diagnosis despite anticoagulant treatment.
