title: [Late outcome of patients with myocardial infarction complicated by mural thrombi in the left heart ventricle].
abstract: The study was aimed at the evaluating of the remote clinical course and death rate in patients with myocardial infarction, in whom mural thrombi in the left cardiac ventricle were diagnosed during hospitalization. During a 24-month follow up, 23 (20%) out of 116 patients died, including 10 (43.5%) patients with myocardial infarction complicated with mural thrombi during hospitalization. There were 39% of sudden deaths. Ninety three (80%) patients, including 27 (29%) patients of the group with myocardial infarction complicated with mural thrombi in left ventricle during hospitalization, were reported for the ambulatory examination. Features of the postinfarction heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, the second myocardial infarction or exacerbations of the coronary disease which required hospitalization were significantly more frequent in this group.
