We recently reported a high prevalence of intracardiac thrombus in cardiac amyloid patients at autopsy. However, neither the prevalence nor the effect of anticoagulation on intracardiac thrombus has been evaluated antemortem.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    We studied all transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms of cardiac amyloid patients at the Mayo Clinic. The prevalence of intracardiac thrombosis, clinical and transthoracic\/transesophageal echocardiographic risks for intracardiac thrombosis, and effect of anticoagulation were investigated. We identified 156 patients with cardiac amyloidosis who underwent transesophageal echocardiograms. Amyloidosis was the primary type (AL) in 80; other types occurred in 76 patients, including 56 with the wild transthyretin type, 17 with the mutant transthyretin type, and 3 with the secondary type. Fifth-eight intracardiac thrombi were identified in 42 patients (27%). AL amyloid had more frequent intracardiac thrombus than the other types (35% versus 18%;\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =0.02), although the AL patients were younger and had less atrial fibrillation. Multivariate analysis showed that atrial fibrillation, poor left ventricular diastolic function, and lower left atrial appendage emptying velocity were independently associated with increased risk for intracardiac thrombosis, whereas anticoagulation was associated with a significantly decreased risk (odds ratio, 0.09; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.51;\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.006).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Intracardiac thrombosis occurs frequently in cardiac amyloid patients, especially in the AL type and in those with atrial fibrillation. Risk for thrombosis increased if left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and atrial mechanical dysfunction were present. Anticoagulation therapy appears protective. Timely screening in high-risk patients may allow early detection of intracardiac thrombus. Anticoagulation should be carefully considered.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/circulationaha.108.785014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,4]],"date-time":"2009-05-04T21:53:48Z","timestamp":1241474028000},"page":"2490-2497","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":247,"title":["Intracardiac Thrombosis and Anticoagulation Therapy in Cardiac Amyloidosis"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"DaLi","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Imran S.","family":"Syed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jae K.","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allan S.","family":"Jaffe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martha","family":"Grogan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William D.","family":"Edwards","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Morie A.","family":"Gertz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyle W.","family":"Klarich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute, Minneapolis, Minn (D.F.), and Divisions of Cardiovascular Diseases (D.F., I.S.S., M.M., J.K.O., A.S.J., M.G., K.W.K.), Anatomic Pathology (W.D.E.), and Hematology (M.A.G.), Mayo Clinic, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V79.7.1817.1817"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199709253371306"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/circulationaha.104.489187"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9149(83)90084-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9343(97)89487-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","first-page":"665","volume":"58","year":"1983","unstructured":"Kyle RA, Greipp PR.
