Early Left Ventricular Thrombus Formation in a COVID-19 Patient with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
Harish SharmaSudhakar GeorgePublished in: Case reports in cardiology (2020)
COVID-19-positive patients are potentially hypercoagulable, and MI in this population may precipitate LVT earlier than expected. Consideration should be made for routine early screening of post-MI COVID-19 patients for LVT. If detected, anticoagulation may reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality in this high-risk group.
