Variable diastolic rumbling murmur caused by floating left atrial thrombus.

چکیده
A 53 year old man with a history of rheumatic mitral stenosis was admitted to hospital because of recurrent fainting spells. Auscultation showed a variable diastolic rumbling murmur. Simultaneous echo- and phonocardiograms demonstrated a floating left atrial thrombus; when this passed into the left ventricular inflow tract and obstructed the mitral valve orifice the diastolic murmur disappeared.

Syncope Due to a Free-floating Left Atrial Thrombus
A 74-year-old woman with nonvalvular chronic atrial fibrillation was admitted for pre-syncope. She fainted and developed acute arterial occlusion after one month of admission. Echocardiogram showed a 2.6×2.8-cm free-floating ball thrombus in the left atrium (LA) that had not been documented at the initial admission. Its left lateral decubitus position caused left ventricular (LV) inflow obstruc...

ruptured chordae tendineae. Pathologic examination revealed scarring and myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve. The origin of the systolic murmur, mimicking that of aortic stenosis, is well documented to be due to a regurgitant jet striking the anterosuperior wall of the left atrium adjacent to the aorta, thus producing radiation toward the carotid arteriessm5 However, the cause of the di...

متن کاملPhonocardiographic analysis of diastolic flow murmurs in secundum atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect.
The presence oflow frequency diastolic murmurs, presumably due to increased flow through the respective atrio-ventricular valves, has been recognized in patients with atrial and ventricular septal defects for many years. The murmur in ventricular septal defect was reported by Laubry and Pezzi in 1921 and emphasized by Wood (1950). A publication from this institute drew attention to this phenome...
متن کاملA Neovascularized Left Atrial Mass
Background. The discovery of a large left atrial mass through echocardiography obliges the clinician to perform a differential diagnosis to distinguish tumor from thrombus. The neovascularization of the mass could be helpful to predict the type of the malformation and whether it is in favour of a vacular tumour rather than a thrombus . Observation. A 43-years-old man who had no cardiac antecede...
