Incidental Diagnosis of Massive Mobile Left Ventricle Thrombi Following COVID-19 in a Heart Failure Patient
A 71-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent an echocardiogram showing new onset of multiple mobile left ventricular masses. She experienced a mild COVID-19 infection 1 month before. After a multimodality imaging evaluation, vitamin K antagonist treatment was started, with progressive reduction of the masses without clinical events. A diagnosis of exclusion of left ventricular thrombosis was made.
