[Echocardiographic detection of a left ventricular tumor after myocardial infarction (author's transl)]. 1978

B Niehues, and V Carstens, and M Tauchert, and D W Behrenbeck, and H H Hilger, and H Dalichau

A mobile left-ventricular tumor was detected by echocardiography in a 28-years-old patient, who has sustained an anteroseptal infarction four years before. The patient was admitted to hospital because of arterial embolism. The echocardiographic finding was validated by left-ventricular angiography. In open-heart surgery a pedunculated tumor was excided, in microscopic study the tumor revealed the findings of an organized thrombus. The echocardiographic and angiographic findings are shown, the echocardiographic differential diagnosis is pointed out.

D004617 Embolism Blocking of a blood vessel by an embolus which can be a blood clot or other undissolved material in the blood stream. Embolus,Embolisms
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
D006338 Heart Neoplasms Tumors in any part of the heart. They include primary cardiac tumors and metastatic tumors to the heart. Their interference with normal cardiac functions can cause a wide variety of symptoms including HEART FAILURE; CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS; or EMBOLISM.
