Prevention of Post-STEMI Left Ventricular Thrombus With Optimized Anticoagulant (EARLYmyo-LVT Ⅱ)

Summary

Left ventricular thrombus is a common complication subsequent to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) that related to increased embolic events. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety outcomes of Rivaroxaban on the prevention of post-STEMI left ventricular thrombus.
