A 40-year-old male with an inferior wall myocardial infarction developed a rare left ventricular thrombus attached to the hypokinetic inferobasal septum near the left ventricular outflow tract.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights risk factors and unusual presentations of left ventricular thrombus following acute myocardial infarction.
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation is a frequent complication in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction (MI). Its incidence is lower with inferior wall MI. Risk factors for the development of LV thrombus are consistently irrespective of infarct treatment and include large infarct size, severe apical akinesia or dyskinesia LV aneurysm, and anterior MI.
Ali et al. (Thu,) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular thrombus (n=1). A 40-year-old male with an inferior wall myocardial infarction developed a rare left ventricular thrombus attached to the hypokinetic inferobasal septum near the left ventricular outflow tract.
