Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) showed a biventricular dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), severe biventricular dysfunction (LV ejection fraction (LVEF): 10%), low cardiac index at 1.20 L/min/m3 with a large intra LV "horseshoe" thrombus, showing also a high heart LV filling pressure with elevated PAPs at 51 mmHg and a dilated inferior vena cava (Figure 2, Figure 3).
