We present a patient with left ventricular thrombus diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography. Thrombosis was due to acquired transient protein C deficiency which was caused by impaired liver function due to hepatitis, sepsis and heart failure. With proper treatment the thrombus disappeared on the fourth day. Eighteen weeks later the protein C level returned to normal. We recommend echocardiographic evaluation and follow-up of suspected cases for intracardiac thrombus. The measurement of protein C level in such cases is proposed. This is the first case with left-sided cardiac thrombus associated with protein C deficiency in the medical literature.
