Key result
The CHA2DS2VASc score was significantly higher in anterior STEMI patients who developed a left ventricular apical thrombus compared to those who did not (3.1 vs 1.9, p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does CHA2DS2VASc score evaluation predict the risk of left ventricular apical thrombus formation in patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction?

A 2022 study conducted a letter in Acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=378). CHA2DS2VASc score vs. Lower CHA2DS2VASc score was evaluated on Left ventricular apical thrombus (LVAT) formation (p=<0.001). The CHA2DS2VASc score was significantly higher in anterior STEMI patients who developed a left ventricular apical thrombus compared to those who did not (3.1 vs 1.9, p<0.001).
