Left ventricular thrombus. Detection by ECG synchronized cineangiography.
The detection of a left ventricular mural thrombus, a potentially fatal complication of various heart diseases, is often missed by current radiographic techniques. The findings on ECG synchronized radionuclide cineangiography in a patient with a large thrombus in the left ventricular cavity, confirmed by echocardiography and angiography are reported. This suggests a role for radionuclide cineangiography in the detection of left ventricular mural thrombus.
