Key result
In patients with heart failure and intracardiac thrombus, the left ventricle was the most frequently involved chamber (66.8%), and the overall anticoagulation rate was 56.8%.
Why the study?
Heart failure predisposes patients to intracardiac thrombus due to a hypercoagulable state, prompting an assessment of their clinical features.
Population
1,248 patients with heart failure and intracardiac thrombus

Zhai et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Heart failure with intracardiac thrombus (n=1,248). Heart failure with intracardiac thrombus was evaluated on Thrombus location and clinical characteristics. In patients with heart failure and intracardiac thrombus, the left ventricle was the most frequently involved chamber (66.8%), and the overall anticoagulation rate was 56.8%.
