Abstract |
Left ventricular thrombosis is a rare complication of stress-induced cardiomyopathy. Transient left ventricular dysfunction and
apical ballooning may precipitate an apical thrombus in the left ventricle. Here we report the case of a 46-year-old female who was
diagnosed with stress-induced cardiomyopathy complicated by multiple thromboembolisms originating from an apical thrombus of
the left ventricle. (Korean J Med 77:S1166-S1169, 2009) |
