Abstract:
A 58-year-old man with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy visited a hospital once a month after his first hospitalization for heart failure. Three months later, he presented with consciousness impairment and heat stroke. Blood tests showed multiple organ failure, and echocardiography revealed biventricular thrombi. After admission, intensive care was provided, and anticoagulation therapy was initiated. The echocardiographic findings in the third week confirmed the complete disappearance of thrombi. Biventricular thrombi associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation from heat stroke is rare. We report the case of a patient who was treated with anticoagulation therapy only, without surgical intervention.
