I Roifman, KA Connelly, GA Wright… - Canadian Journal of …, 2015 - Elsevier
Background Left ventricular (LV) thrombi can occur in the setting of LV dysfunction
especially in the acute postmyocardial infarction period. The ideal imaging strategy to detect
LV thrombi is currently unknown. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic
review to compare the accuracy of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with that of cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging for the detection of LV thrombi. Methods OvidMEDLINE,
EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles published between January …
