Key result
Anticoagulant therapy with heparin and warfarin successfully resolved a massive left ventricular thrombus and improved symptoms in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?
The connection between cardiac thrombus formation and conditions such as gout and methamphetamine abuse is not thoroughly studied.
Does anticoagulant therapy resolve left ventricular thrombus and improve symptoms in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and multiple cardioembolic attacks?
Case Report (n=1)
No
Does anticoagulant therapy resolve left ventricular thrombus and improve symptoms in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and multiple cardioembolic attacks?
Anticoagulant therapy successfully resolved a large left ventricular thrombus and improved symptoms in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and multiple cardioembolic attacks.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support anticoagulation for LV thrombus in dilated cardiomyopathy; leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Moayerifar et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Dilated cardiomyopathy with left ventricular thrombus (n=1). Anticoagulant therapy (heparin and warfarin) was evaluated on Thrombus resolution and symptom improvement. Anticoagulant therapy with heparin and warfarin successfully resolved a massive left ventricular thrombus and improved symptoms in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.
