LEFT VENTRICULAR THROMBUS IN THE PRESENCE OF NORMAL LEFT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION

Abstract

ABSTRACT Left ventricular (LV) thrombi in the presence of normal Ventricular function are uncommon. We report a 7-year old boy who presented with an LV thrombus in the setting of normal LV function identified by echocardiography, to highlight the rarity of this entity and its clinical significance. The thrombus disappeared after a few days of anticoagulant and steroid therapy without symptoms of embolization.
