Abstract
Thrombi represent the most frequently found intracardiac masses. Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is an important complication in patients with ischemic heart diseases and in those with dilated cardiomyopathy and systolic heart failure. The diagnosis of left ventricular thrombus remains important since anticoagulation will reduce the risk of systemic embolization and stroke. Despite advances in other imaging modalities, echocardiography remains the most important tool for diagnosis and risk stratification in patients predisposed to develop left ventricular thrombi. We are presenting a case report of 62 years old gentleman who had suffered from anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) in the recent past, and now has developed LVT which was detected by contrast tuned imaging (CTI) technology based contrast echocardiography. This is a first case report of detection of LVT by this ingenious technology. Keywords: Thrombus, Left Ventricle, Ischemic Heart Disease, Anterior Wall Myocardial Infarction, Contrast Tuned Imaging, Left Ventricular Opacification.
