Left ventricular thrombus associated with left ventricular apical ballooning

Minor stroke in a Takotsubo-like syndrome: A rare clinical presentation due to transient left ventricular thrombus

“…It is worthy noting that some characteristics of our patient were surprisingly similar to those described by Korosoglou et al [6], Robles et al [10], and Singh et al [11] in their patients (74-year-old women, ECG and echocardiographic findings, location of the thrombi within the LV), likely suggesting such a particular phenotype at a risk for this complication, irrespective of the peculiar disease aetiology.…”

Left ventricular thrombus formation and cardioembolic complications in patients with Takotsubo-like syndrome: A systematic review

“…Fourteen studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] were identified. No unpublished articles meeting our eligibility criteria were located.…”
