Abstract
Combined activated protein C resistance and dilated cardiomyopathy result in a multiplicative effect on thrombosis risk. However, it is not known that whether there is an association with activated protein C resistance and dilated cardiomyopathy. We present a 18-year-old patient with dilated cardiomyopathy, who exhibited multi-chamber intracardiac thrombi on transthoracic echocardiography associated with activated protein C resistance. Our cases emphasizes that patients with cardiac thrombosis before adulthood should be screened for an underlying coagulation abnormality besides underlying cardiac disorders.Entities:
