Abstract
Eighty year old male patient with heart failure preserved ejection fraction (EF),
Obstructive sleep apnea, peripherovascular disease admitted with increasing
shortness of breath and found with pulmonary emboli. Baseline 2D-echo-cardiogram
performed demonstrated preserved ejection fraction and a right
thrombus in transit. Anticoagulation with weight based-low molecular
weight heparin was given for six days. Follow-up echo performed demonstrated
complete dissolution of right heart thrombi. Since there was complete dis-
solution of thrombi seen on right atrium, anticoagulation with Rivaroxaban
was given instead.
