Aggressive decongestive treatment, haemoconcentration and increased blood viscosity following HF decompensation may serve as a trigger for intracardiac thrombus formation under the appropriate prothrombotic background. Appropriate primary antithrombotic prophylaxis is an issue raised concerns and vulnerable patients need closed clinical and imaging follow-up.
