Figure 3 Thrombus Prevalence According to Etiology and Severity of Myopathic Dysfunction

Thrombus prevalence (bar graph, left) was over 5-fold higher among patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy as compared with those with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (9.2% vs. 1.7%) despite nearly identical left ventricular ejection fraction. When each group was stratified according to ejection fraction (line graph, right), prevalence was higher in patients with ischemic disease for every ejection fraction group.
