| Popis: | Thirty-eight patients with conditions predisposing to intracardiac thrombus have been studied by computed tomography and cross-sectional echocardiography. Computed tomography identified 22 cases of intracardiac thrombus (13 left ventricular, eight left atrial and one right atrial). Cross-sectional echocardiography identified five of these left ventricular thrombi and the right atrial thrombus, but none of the left atrial thrombi. In addition, measurements of thrombus density on computed tomography identified a significant difference (p less than 0.02) between the density of a new compared with an organized thrombus. |
