Abstract

Intracardiac thrombosis and distant thromboembolic events are rare complications of patients diagnosed with any type of cardiomyopathies. The low prevalence of this entity makes it challenging and unfortunate for the patients and their families. This review aims to add to the current limited available data describing similar clinical entities.
