Key result
Anticoagulant therapy administered until complete resolution of wall motion abnormalities appears appropriate to treat apical thrombus formation in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?

Does anticoagulant therapy treat apical thrombus formation and prevent embolism in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy?
Anticoagulant therapy until resolution of wall motion abnormalities may be an appropriate treatment strategy for apical thrombus complicating takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

May support anticoagulation until wall motion resolution for apical thrombus in takotsubo; leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Azzarelli et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=15). Anticoagulant therapy was evaluated on Apical thrombus formation and subsequent embolism. Anticoagulant therapy administered until complete resolution of wall motion abnormalities appears appropriate to treat apical thrombus formation in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
