  • Title: Systemic embolization from thrombus in normal left ventricles.
    Author: Verma AK, Alam M, Rosman HS, Brymer J, Keith F.
    Journal: Chest; 1988 Feb; 93(2):441-2. PubMed ID: 3338323.
    Abstract:
    It is extremely rare for a thrombus to form in a normal functioning left ventricle. We present two patients in whom this occurred without any plausable explanation. In both instances the patients presented with systemic emboli and had no heart disease or hypercoagulable state. The diagnosis was made by two-dimensional echocardiography and subsequently confirmed during surgery.
