Sudden cardiac death due to isolated right ventricle thromboembolism in a young male

Sudden cardiac death due to an isolated right ventricular thromboembolism is an uncommon cause of death. In the reported case, a healthy, asymptomatic young male with no past medical history outside of obesity and his age was found unresponsive by a family member who suspected him to be sleeping. Examination of the heart at autopsy revealed a large serpiginous, organized and obstructive blood clot compromising most of the right ventricle with no other cardiac abnormalities and without any evidence of a pulmonary embolism. The patient was found to not have any history of substance abuse, genetic predispositions, kidney disease, or COVID-19 infection which has all been linked to ventricular thrombi.
