Recurrent Left Ventricular Thrombus After Reverse Remodeling in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
This case demonstrates that structural and functional recovery does not eliminate thrombotic risk. Persistent apical flow abnormalities may create a prothrombotic environment, highlighting the importance of longitudinal flow assessment with advanced imaging such as 4-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging, particularly in patients with a prior thrombus.
