A patient with COVID-19 presenting multiple thrombi in the left ventricle

Clinically Suspected Myocarditis in COVID-19 Patients: Case Series and Review of Literature

“…Following up the patient for two months showed residual thrombosis in the left ventricle and LVEF of 16%. Moreover, the cardiac MRI showed the findings suggestive for previous recent myocarditis [14]. It seems that the occurring ventricular thrombosis due to COVID-19 is not a common finding.…”

Clinically suspected myocarditis in COVID‐19 patients: Case series and review of the literature

“…Rubartelli et al reported a COVID‐19 patient with multiple thromboses in the left ventricle, elevated D‐dimers, and severe LVEF reduction of 20% who was followed up for 2 months, and residual thrombosis in the left ventricle together with an LVEF of 16% were observed. In addition, cardiac MRI indicated the findings suggestive of recent myocarditis 14 . It seems that the ventricular thrombosis that occurs is not a common finding due to COVID‐19.…”

Risk factors for in-hospital systemic thromboembolism in myocardial infarction patients with left-ventricular thrombus: A multicenter retrospective study

“…Previous studies have evaluated the predictors for thrombus genesis, [7][8][9] but most of the published data were obtained from case reports. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] For example, Paolo Rubartelli et al reported that hypercoagulable state and myocardial dysfunction contributed to LVT formation in COVID-19 patients. Additionally, a recent meta-analysis showed anticoagulation and triple therapy were independent predictors of lower rates of embolic events in LVT.…”
