Abstract
Coumadin or Warfarin ridge is so named for its band-like structure that originates in the left atrium and is almost always misdiagnosed as a cardiac tumor or a cardiac thrombus. This article will detail the important information of the coumadin ridge and demonstrate its structure and location with the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) .
