Cross-sectional echocardiographic findings of left ventricular thrombi in a ten-year-old patient with cardiomyopathy. 1979

S Suzuki, and M Yanagisawa, and S Yano, and K Itoh, and K Kotohda

Using cross-sectional echocardiography, left ventricular thrombi were easily found in a 10-year-old boy suffering from congestive heart failure resulting from long-standing endocardial fibroelastosis. Ten days after this procedure, the patient suddenly manifested the signs of acute embolic occlusion of the abdominal aorta and succumbed. Emboli removed from the aorta were histologically confirmed to be organized thrombi. Cross-sectional echocardiography was useful in the antemortem detection of left ventricular thrombi in this pediatric patient.

D004695 Endocardial Fibroelastosis A condition characterized by the thickening of ENDOCARDIUM due to proliferation of fibrous and elastic tissue, usually in the left ventricle leading to impaired cardiac function (CARDIOMYOPATHY, RESTRICTIVE). It is most commonly seen in young children and rarely in adults. It is often associated with congenital heart anomalies (HEART DEFECTS CONGENITAL;) INFECTION; or gene mutation. Defects in the tafazzin protein, encoded by TAZ gene, result in a form of autosomal dominant familial endocardial fibroelastosis.
