Biventricular thrombosis in a structurally normal heart at high altitude.

Susheel Malani¹, Davinder Chadha¹, Anup Banerji².

Abstract

We present a rare case of biventricular thrombus in a young patient with a structurally normal heart at high altitude, complicated with pulmonary embolism. Detailed evaluation revealed him to have protein S deficiency. Altered environmental conditions at high altitude associated with protein S deficiency resulted in thrombus formation at an unusual location; the same is discussed in this case report. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
