Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of left ventricular thrombus formation at the LV apex following an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction, which successfully resolved with medical therapy.
Left ventricular (LV) thrombosis is caused by multiple etiological factors. Acute anterior wall myocardial infarction tops the list. Acute inferior wall infarction is not commonly associated with LV thrombus formation. A rare case of LV thrombus formation at LV apex due to acute inferior wall myocardial infarction is described in a young adult with successful resolution on medical therapy. Appropriate cardiac imaging is the key in correct diagnosis and treatment.
