Diagnostic Performance of Anatomic Imaging for LV Thrombus^*

	Sensitivity	Specificity	Accuracy	Positive Predictive Value	Negative Predictive Value
Non-Contrast Echo	33% (8/24)	94% (91/97)	82% (99/121)	57% (8/14)	85% (91/107)
Contrast Echo^§	61% (14/23)^†	99% (96/97)	92% (110/120)^‡	93% (14/15)	91% (96/105)
Cine-CMR	79% (19/24)^§	99% (96/97)	95% (115/121)^§	95% (19/20)	95% (96/101)

Indices calculated using DE-CMR as the standard for LV thrombus

^†

p < 0.05 (vs. non-contrast echo),

^‡

p < 0.01 (vs. non-contrast echo),

^§

p ≤ 0.001 (vs. non-contrast echo)

One patient (with thrombus by non-contrast echo, cine-CMR, and DE-CMR) could not undergo the contrast echo component of the protocol due to contraindications to the echo contrast agent in the interim between study consent and imaging (decompensated heart failure)⁸.
