Development of left ventricular thrombus is a dreaded complication after myocardial infarction and in dilated cardiomyopathy. Early detection and treatment is important as it carries the risk of systemic embolism. Thrombolytic therapy, anticoagulation and surgical removals are considered treatment options in patient with left ventricular thrombus. Resolution of left ventricular thrombus with anticoagulation demonstrate the effectiveness of such therapy in preventing the dreaded complications of clot embolism.
