  • Title: Incidence of intracavitary thrombus in dilated cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Kumar H.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 1994 Mar; 42(3):219-20. PubMed ID: 7860513.
    Abstract:
    Study was made on 90 patients (63 males & 27 females) with Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) to find out incidence of intracavitary thrombus in heart. None of the patient was found to have evidence of thrombus in any chamber of the heart during Echocardiography. Only one patient (1.1%) had developed arterial embolization. The mean age of the patients was 49.5 (+/- 16.31) years. The duration of illness was 2.82 (+/- 1.58) years. In view of above observation life long anticoagulation which has its own hazards & difficulties, does not seem to be advisable in all cases of DCM.
