[Spontaneous echocardiographic contrast in the left ventricle: apropos of 2 cases].
Two cases of spontaneous echocardiographic contrast in the left ventricle, using transthoracic echocardiography, are presented. One is due to a low-flow state in a patient with a dilated myocardiopathy. In the other we observed the echogenicity of a turbulent intracardiac blood flow across a mitral prosthesis. We considered the different theories that tried to explain the multiple origin of this "smoke".
