Apical mural thrombus: technical pitfalls.
A left ventricular thrombus can occur in a variety of clinical settings and, when small, may be difficult to document. Understanding the clinical scenarios of when these thrombi form and how to optimise echocardiographic scanning techniques will increase the sensitivity and specificity of the examination (tables 1 and 2).
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Case of Persistent Apical Ballooning Complicated by an Apical Mural Thrombus
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is an infrequent cardiac syndrome characterized by acute onset chest pain with apical ballooning on echocardiography. It is often triggered by severe emotional or physical stress, and in contrast to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the regional wall motion abnormality returns to normal within days. Here, we describe a 62-year-old female who presented with acute ...
متن کاملInfected mural thrombus caused by Bacteroides fragilis.
findings of Sonnenblick et al of the greatest positional changes in Pa02 that were found with two patients with cardiac failure were because of occult contralateral effusions, even though the diagnosed effusions were reported to be small. Indeed, cardiac failure is most often associated with bilateral effusions if more sensitive diagnostic techniques are performed. 3 The two reported patients w...
متن کاملLeriche's syndrome and thoracic aortic mural thrombus.
A 63-year-old female presented with proximal bilateral lower extremity pain that occurred after walking and was resolved by resting in the standing position. Her past medical history was significant for obesity, hypertension, and dyslipemia. On physical examination, the bilateral pedial and posterior tibial pulses were absent, the bilateral popliteal pulses and the left femoral pulse were weak,...
متن کاملTransient left ventricular apical ballooning complicated by a mural thrombus and outflow tract obstruction in a patient with pheochromocytoma.
A 53-year-old postmenopausal woman presented at the emergency department shortly after an episode of intense emotional stress. She was experiencing angina-like chest pain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ST-segment elevation in the anterolateral and inferior leads (Fig. 1). Immediate coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed extensive mid-...
