Infection of cardiac mural thrombus associated with left ventricular aneurysm. 1986

P M Schofield, and A N Rahman, and M E Ellis, and E M Dunbar, and C L Bray, and N Brooks

Infection is a rare complication of cardiac mural thrombus and may prove difficult to diagnose and treat. We describe a patient with infected thrombus associated with a left ventricular aneurysm, involving Salmonella typhimurium. Cross-sectional echocardiography proved helpful in establishing the diagnosis.

D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
