dc.description.abstract | Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) may be associated with formation of intracardiac thrombi which may embolize and result in life‑threatening complications. We present a 19‑month‑old female child with DCM who presented with a right hemispheric cerebrovascular accident. Urgent echocardiography revealed poor left ventricular systolic function and a thrombus attached to the interventricular septum along the left ventricular outflow tract. There was resolution of the thrombus following the use of warfarin. | en_US |
