Thromboembolism in patients with decreased left ventricular function: incidence, risk, and treatment
J Cardiovasc Risk.

Abstract
Intracavitary thrombus is noted in 11-44% of patients with idiopathic delayed cardiomyopathy, and the incidence of embolism is 11-20%. The incidence of intracavitary thrombus formation after acute anterior myocardial infarction is 21-41%. The risk of embolism in all patient with acute anterior myocardial infarction is 2-6%; protruding or mobile thrombi carry a risk of embolization. Systemic anticoagulation is justified in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (international normalized ratio 2.0-3.0).
