Resolution of Left Ventricular Thrombus Secondary to Tachycardia-Induced Heart Failure with Rivaroxaban

[Severe tachycardiomyopathy and thrombus in the left atrial appendage--a case report].

We describe a case of severe left ventricular (LV) heart failure caused by tachycardiomyopathy with concomitant presence of unsolved thrombus in left atrial appendage despite effective oral anticoagulant treatment. Successful ablation of atrial flutter and atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia entailed resolution of heart failure symptoms and normalisation of LV function.

  Background & Objective : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome and increases in rate by aging. Because changes in ECG and electrolytes are variable, specific and sometimes independent to the disease with different methods to be diagnosed, in this study we tried to find a way to diagnose them.   Materials & Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive-analytic study. Data was collected from dec...

Daily 10 mg rivaroxaban as a therapy for ventricular thrombus related to left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy

RATIONALE Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare heart disorder related to thrombosis. Anticoagulant therapy is suggested for the treatment of this disease. The success of the novel oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban as a treatment option for this disorder is unclear. PATIENT CONCERNS A 43-year-old man who felt dizzy at rest was found to have an intraventricular thrombus....

Application of centrifugal pump in right ventricular failure due to pulmonary artery hypertension. (A case report)

Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...

Surgical Cryoablation of Drug Resistant Ventricular Tachycardia and Aneurysmectomy of Postinfarction Left Ventricular Aneurysm

Heart failure is usually associated with left ventricle remodelling, wall thickening, and worsening of the systolic function. Ventricular tachycardia is a common and a negative prognostic factor in patients with endocardial scarring following myocardial infarction and aneurysm formation. The authors present a case of a 51-year-old man with ischemic heart disease, who suffered myocardial infarct...
