Key result
COVID-19 infection is linked to left ventricular thrombus formation during acute and convalescent phases.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular complications including left ventricular thrombus formation in COVID-19 infection have been documented but require comprehensive review.
Left ventricular thrombus is a documented cardiovascular complication of COVID-19 during both the acute phase and convalescence.
May warrant LV thrombus vigilance in COVID-19; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Cardiovascular complications of the Coronarvirus disease (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2), have been documented both in the acute phase and in convalescence. One such complication is the formation of left ventricular (LV) thrombus. Read more JCTRes.com
