Timing of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Impacts on the Detection Rate of Left Ventricular Thrombus After Myocardial Infarction

Patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at high risk for left ventricular thrombi (LVT) [(1)][1]. Independent predictors of LVT are anterior localization, large infarct size, and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction [(2)][2]. The largest LVT cardiac
