Sensitivities and specificities of different diagnostic modalities for the detection of left ventricular thrombus formation
| Sensitivity | Specificity | |
| TOE | 35% | 90% |
| Routine clinical TTE | 35–40% | 90% |
| TTE (indication suspect LV thrombus) | 60% | 90% |
| CT | Comparable with TTE | |
| Cine CMR | 60% | 90% |
| DE-CMR | 88% | 99% |
CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; CT, computed tomography; DE, delayed enhancement; LV, left ventricular; TOE, transoesophageal echocardiography; TTE, transthoracic echocardiography.
