Abstract Background Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) formation represents a common complication of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). LVT is usually underestimated with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) while cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is promising as an alternative imaging modality for cardiac thrombus detection. The study aims to compare TTE and CMRI in their ability to detect LVT, also, to assess the clinical and imaging parameters to determine variables that may predispose for thrombus formation. The study population includes seventy-six patients with ischemic DCM. They were divided into 2 groups based on the presence of LVT as detected by delayed-enhancement CMRI (DE-CMRI) [Group A included 20 patients with a LVT and Group B included 56 patients without]. Results All of the current study population had ischemic DCM with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) |
