VENTRICULAR MURAL THROMBUS IN PATIENT WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR ANEURYSM AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Abstract
On the example of the clinical case of newly diagnosed mural thrombus in patient with post ST-elevation myocardial infarction chronic aneurysm formation, probable risk of further tromboembolism and anticoagulation benefit was discussed. Recommendations on lifestyle modification and medicament treatment tactics are described for prevention of new mural thrombi formation. Left ventricular thrombus is an important complication of acute myocardial infarction that impacts embolic event risk and anticoagulant therapy. Improved understanding of post-MI thrombus in the current era is critical for optimization of diagnostic testing strategies. Advances in MI management, including prompt and effective coronary reperfusion, have yielded improvements in LV function and remodeling. Widespread use of antiplatelet agents may potentiate the benefits of reperfusion, thereby lessening the likelihood of LV thrombus.
