Purpose/ Objective
The incidence of LV thrombus in STEMI patients is not clear and TTE performs poorly in its detection. LV thrombus, if undetected, can have catastrophic consequences and therefore, it is imperative to identify those at risk and they are investigated with the right tool. CMR can play a valuable role in this setting and is highlighted in this CME. Following this activity learners will:
- Have a better understanding of the strength of CMR to detect LV thrombus
- Be able to identify patients most likely to be at risk
- Be able to improve their interpretation of CMR to differentiate between microvascular obstruction and LV thrombus.
