What is the incidence, outcomes, and predictors of ventricular thrombus after reperfused ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction by using sequential cardiac MR imaging?
According to the study by Cambronero-Cortinas et al. (2017), the incidence of ventricular thrombus after reperfused ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction was found to be 6.4%, with the mortality rate of 4.7%. The predictors of ventricular thrombus after reperfused ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction included older age, female sex, longer ischemic times, and lower left ventricular ejection fraction. The risk of stroke was also found to be higher in patients with ventricular thrombus.
