Massive Thrombosis of the Left Ventricle

THE purpose of this report is to describe the occurrence of a massive, organized thrombus in the left ventricle. The few similar cases described in the literature and reviewed by Zatuchni and Tan' deal with thrombi associated with cardiac aneurysms. In our case the heart was enlarged and hypertrophied, and the site of extensive myocardial fibrosis due to coronary atheromatosis, but no aneurysm ...

Left Ventricle: Echocardiographic Detection and Differentiation from Early Thrombosis

In two-dimensional echocardiographic studies of left ventricular thrombus in patients, an unusual pattern of dynamic left ventricular intracavitary echoes was identified in some hearts with severe apical dysfunction. These intracavitary echoes were noted in the apical region and were distinct from left ventricular thrombi. Certain features of the intracavitary echoes suggested that they were ge...
