Effect of Anticoagulation Duration on Stroke Incidence in Asian Patients With Left Ventricular Thrombus
Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) occurs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies.1,2 LVT may result in embolic stroke.3 We read with interest the study by Lorente-Ros et  al4 published in the American Journal of Cardiology. That study, conducted in a Spanish cohort, found that prolonged anticoagulation>12  months for LVT was associated with lower stroke risk. We aimed to study the generalizability of these results in an Asian population because the original article was a single-center study with limited representation.
