Text: Compared with the remaining 693 patients, subjects with left ventricular thrombosis were older (mean (SD) age : 64. 6 (13. 0) v 59. 8 (11. 7) years, p < 0. 005), and had larger infarcts (extent of wall motion asynergy : 40. 9 (11. 5) % v 24. 9 (14) %, p < 0. 001), greater depression of left ventricular ejection fraction at S1 (43. 3 (6. 9) % v 48. 1 (6. 8) %, p < 0. 001), and greater left ventricular volumes at S1 (end diastolic volume : 87 (22) v 78 (18) ml/m (2), p < 0. 001 ; end systolic volume : 50 (17) v 41 (14) ml/m (2), p < 0. 001).
