Risk factors for intracardiac thrombus in peripartum cardiomyopathy: a retrospective study in China

ConclusionsIn our retrospective study, impaired LVEF, elevated haemoglobin levels, and high thrombocyte counts were regarded as independent risk factors for intracardiac thrombus in PPCM. A risk stratification model derived from these risk factors, which was economic and easily applicable in clinical practice, could rapidly and accurately identify PPCM patients with higher-risk of intracardiac thrombus.
