Multiple intra-cavitary thrombi in a late-onset dilated cardiomyopathy with severely reduced ejection fraction: A case report and review of the literature
This case highlights the importance of early recognition and prompt anticoagulation in dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by left ventricular thrombi. A structured diagnostic and therapeutic strategy-integrating multimodality imaging, exclusion of secondary causes, and genetic assessment-can lead to complete thrombus resolution and favorable remodeling.
