Abstract:
Pregnancy and the post-partum period are known hypercoagulable states. Mid-cavitary variant Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is uncommon and seen in only about 14% of all Takotsubo cases. Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) in the setting of mid-cavitary TCM is extremely rare, occurring in approximately 1% of cases. We describe a case of a young female, 1-week post-partum, with an acute LVT in the setting of mid-ventricular TCM, and we discuss the striking images and clinical management of this uncommon presentation.
