Left Ventricular Reverse Remodelling as a Promising Strategy for Resolving Left Ventricular Thrombus
Authors' conclusion
Patients with LVRR experience higher incidence of LVT resolution and have lower risk of embolic events
Study context
- Population
- Patients diagnosed with left ventricular (LV) thrombus, 1 November 2015 to 31 May 2020
- Participants
- 84 patients
- Exposure
- Left ventricular reverse remodelling (LVRR) vs failure of LVRR
- LVRRn = 59
- Failure of LVRRn = 25reference
- Outcome
- LVT resolution and embolic events
Methodological detailssingle-centre
- Single-centre
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- LVRR: higher incidence of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) resolution and lower risk of embolic events
- Failure of LVRR the only independent negative predictor of LVT resolution and positive predictor of embolic events (multivariate logistic analysis)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
