She had an angioscan and was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism. By chance the scan also revealed a mass in the patient’s left atrium.
The prevalence of this disorder in a population with a left ventricular ejection fraction below 50% is 7%. The incidence of thrombus increases as the ejection fraction decreases. The presence of myocardial scarring and/or an akinetic area is an independent factor increasing the risk of thrombus [39]. CMR cine and late enhancement sequences are more sensitive and specific than transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography to diagnose thrombi. 3 Thrombus and Heart Transplantation Dominique Grisoli, Alberto Riberi, Vladimir Gariboldi, Frédréric Collart, Guy Moulin, and Alexis Jacquier Case Report A 68-year-old male patient who had undergone heart transplantation surgery was given a routine echocardiographic examination.
Diagnosis LV thrombus complicating the evolution of endomyocardial fibrosis. 5 Thrombus and Endomyocardial Fibrosis 33 Background There are three different stages of cardiac involvement in idiopathic eosinophilia: (1) a necrotic stage, which is due to eosinophils infiltrating the endocardium and causing microabscesses; (2) an intermediate thrombonecrotic stage during which thrombi appear on the surface of the necrotic myocardium of both ventricles; (3) and later a fibrous stage during which the myocardium and the chordae tendineae become fibrotic and the patient develops restrictive cardiomyopathy.
