Postmyocardial infarction left ventricular thrombus. An unusual cause of transient intractability of heart failure

Chest. 1986 Jun;89(6):898-900. doi: 10.1378/chest.89.6.898.

Abstract

A case of a transient and huge postanterior acute myocardial infarction left ventricular thrombus causing temporary intractability of severe heart failure is reported. Echographic and hemodynamic data suggest the restrictive-obliterative pattern of heart failure.
