Evolution of left ventricular thrombus on serial cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Our findings challenge previous literature by demonstrating a lower rate of resolution of LV thrombus and substantial embolic risk beyond 6 months associated with unresolved LV thrombus on serial CMR. Our findings advocate for extended anticoagulation, particularly in patients with markers associated with no resolution. These findings have important implications for clinical practice and research into managing patients with LV thrombus.
