Registry Study to Understand Risks and Outcomes of Left Ventricular Thrombus in Adults with Heart Dysfunction

What this Trial Is About

Left Ventricular Thrombus LVT is a blood clot that can form in a poorly functioning heart, particularly in patients who have had a heart attack or heart failure. This study aims to better understand the factors involved in blood clot formation and management in the lower left chamber of the heart. By gathering information on these patients, researchers hope to improve future care for this condition and help a wider population. Participants include those diagnosed with LV thrombus in the setting of heart dysfunction such as acute myocardial infarction or cardiomyopathies, as well as those at risk for developing thrombus due to severe left ventricular dysfunction or related heart issues. Blood samples will be collected at the start and around 6 months, and MRI scans may include additional images for research during routine scans. Quality of life questionnaires will be completed at the beginning and again at 12 months. During the study, participants will have their blood tests, scan results, and quality of life tracked over 12 months. Blood samples of no more than one tablespoon will be collected alongside routine tests at baseline and 6 months. The researchers will monitor outcomes such as composite results over the year, MRI-based thrombus prediction, blood test results, and changes in quality of life. The study is observational and aims to gather data without altering standard care.
