Key result
Cardiac survey with 131-I fibrinogen accurately detected intracardiac thrombosis, with 8 of 9 positive and 11 of 11 negative studies confirmed subsequently at surgery or autopsy.
Why the study?
Does 131-I fibrinogen cardiac survey accurately detect intracardiac thrombosis in subjects predisposed to it?
Observational (n=20)
Does 131-I fibrinogen cardiac survey accurately detect intracardiac thrombosis in subjects predisposed to it?
Cardiac survey with 131-I fibrinogen is a highly accurate, noninvasive method for detecting intracardiac thrombosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support noninvasive detection of intracardiac thrombi; leaves open need for prospective validation in contemporary cohorts.
Frisbie et al. (1976) conducted an observational in Heart disease predisposing to intracardiac thrombosis (n=20). 131-I fibrinogen cardiac survey vs. Surgery or autopsy was evaluated on Detection of intracardiac thrombosis confirmed by surgery or autopsy. Cardiac survey with 131-I fibrinogen accurately detected intracardiac thrombosis, with 8 of 9 positive and 11 of 11 negative studies confirmed subsequently at surgery or autopsy.
