[Right ventricular thrombosis in association with dilated cardiomyopathy: diagnosis by echocardiography and nuclear magnetic resonance].
Thrombus formation in right chambers is an uncommon event which usually follows an acute right myocardial infarction or a thromboembolic disease. In subjects with dilated cardiomyopathy, thrombus formation is common in the left ventricle; so far right ventricular thrombosis has not yet been reported. In this report we describe a case of cardiomyopathy with right ventricular thrombosis as detected by echocardiography and nuclear magnetic resonance.
