Prevalence and Aetiology of Left Ventricular Thrombus in Patients Undergoing Transthoracic Echocardiography at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital

Table 2

Echocardiographic profiles of subjects with and without left ventricular thrombus.

Parameter	With LVT,	Without LVT,	value
Mean LVDD (mm)	60.45 (7.65)	55.57 (10.91)	0.001
LVDD > 56 mm	69 (82.14%)	437/698 (62.61%)	0.001
Mean EF	28.83 (9.64)	46.35 (17.11)	0.001
EF < 30	40 (47.62%)	119/698 (17.05%)	0.001
EF < 35	55 (65.48%)	223/698 (31.95%)	0.001
RWMD	29 (34.52%)	56/698 (8.02%)	0.001
LV dyssynchrony	16 (19.05%)	45/698 (6.45%)	0.001

LVIDD = left ventricular internal diameter in diastole; EF = ejection fraction; RWMD = regional wall motion defect; LV = left ventricle; LVT = left ventricular thrombus.
