چکیده
Indium-111 ("'In) bound to 8-hydroxyquinoline can be used to label platelets without impairing their ability to participate in active thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to identify intracardiac thrombi using "'In platelet scintigraphy. Twenty-nine patients were studied. Twenty-one had discrete left ventricular aneurysms (group 1). The remaining eight patients (group 2) had normal or minimally narrowed coronary vessels (< 50%) and a global ejection fraction of 54 ± 14% (mean i SD) without segmental dysfunction

متن کاملLeft Ventricular “Horseshoe-Thrombus”—A Case Report
Thrombi represent the most frequently found intracardiac masses. Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is an important complication in patients with ischemic heart diseases and in those with dilated cardiomyopathy and systolic heart failure. The diagnosis of left ventricular thrombus remains important since anticoagulation will reduce the risk of systemic embolization and stroke. Despite advances in ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular outflow tract thrombus detected by echocardiography in a young man with a structurally normal heart: Case report and literature review
Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) thrombi are extremely rare and only two previous cases have been published in the medical literature. We present the third case of LVOT thrombus from Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. This thrombus was an incidental finding in a patient who was status post motor vehicle accident. The patient was a 24 year old man who was found to have a mobile mass in the LVOT b...

INTRODUCTION It is not clear whether patients with sinus rhythm and reduced left ventricular function should be treated with anticoagulation therapy during or after treatment for heart failure. CASE PRESENTATION A 67-year-old Japanese man was hospitalized at our institution with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. On day after discharge, he developed cerebral infarction and showed pe...
