She had a transthoracic echocardiogram which showed left ventricular ejection fraction 55% (low normal) and a left ventricle apical thrombus measuring 0.95 x 0.7 cm which can be seen in Figure 1.

There were also regional wall motion abnormalities which included hypokinetic to akinetic basal myocardial segments, akinetic apex, and hyperdynamic midventricular segments which can be visualized in Figures 2 -4.
