Suggests possible role for short-term anticoagulation in Takotsubo with LV thrombus; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Gibson et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy (n=1). Anticoagulation with warfarin (bridged with intravenous heparin) was evaluated on Resolution of thrombus. Anticoagulation with warfarin bridged with intravenous heparin for 1 month led to the resolution of a left ventricular thrombus in a patient with Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy.
