Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) occurs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in
ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies.

LVT may result in embolic stroke.

We read with interest the study by Lorente-Ros et al

published in the American Journal of Cardiology. That study, conducted in a Spanish cohort, found that prolonged anticoagulation
>12 months for LVT was associated with lower stroke risk. We aimed to study the generalizability
of these results in an Asian population because the original article was a single-center
study with limited representation.- Lorente-Ros Á
