BACKGROUND: The stress-related @entity296 (SRC) is a relatively novel @entity299 characterized by peculiar transient left @entity67 , which accounts for approximately 1-3% of @entity1 with symptoms that initially appear to be an @entity1187 . To date, the true incidence and clinical significance of @entity1002 and related embolic outcomes in these @entity1 have not been fully established. METHODS: The present systematic review aimed to report updated case series of SRC @entity1 with @entity1002 events complicating the @entity10389 , in an attempt to summarize their demographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS: Overall, 33 eligible studies (44 @entity1 ) were selected through the PubMed-Medline archives (December 2002-April 2009), but only 26 (36 @entity1 ) matched our inclusion criteria. @entity1002 was detected in 32 @entity1 (89%), whereas @entity1031 events occurred in 12 (33%). Morphological characteristics of thrombi are described through the article. @entity1 >65 years of age presenting with deep/giant negative T-waves on admission ECG seem more likely to have @entity887 . CONCLUSIONS: Important findings from this updated review indicate that LVT approximately occurs in 5% of the estimated worldwide SRC population, similar to historical incidence in @entity1 with @entity583 . In a third of cases (approximately 1.6% of above guesstimate) nonfatal cardioembolic outcomes ( @entity2806 in 75% of cases) have been documented. It is worthy considering early anticoagulant therapy, especially in @entity1 at a higher risk of @entity1031 , irrespective of the presence of LVT at admission.
