The stress clot: Mid‐cavitary variant takotsubo cardiomyopathy with left ventricular thrombus

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 approx...

Summary: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.
