Relationship of left ventricular thrombus formation and adverse outcomes in acute anterior myocardial infarction in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Clinical Cardiology Nov 01, 2018

Zhang Q, et al. - Whether left ventricular thrombus (LVT) formation is associated with one-year major adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with anterior acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (ant-AMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) was investigated. Participants were 1,488 consecutive patients with ant-AMI, who were examined for the incidence of MACCE within one year after AMI and the disappearance of thrombosis. According to findings, LVT was identified as an independent predictor of one-year MACCE events for patients with ant-AMI treated by PPCI. These results suggest the potential of VKA treatment in the therapeutic range (INR≥2) to attenuate MACCE risk and encourage disappearance of thrombus.
