Key result
Delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provided incremental diagnostic utility for identifying thrombi within both left- and right-sided cardiac chambers in a young man with stroke.
Why the study?
Does delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging improve detection of cardiac thrombi compared with echocardiography in a patient with heart failure and stroke?

Does delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging improve detection of cardiac thrombi compared with echocardiography in a patient with heart failure and stroke?
Delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can provide incremental diagnostic utility over echocardiography for detecting diffuse cardiac thrombi in patients with heart failure and stroke.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support delayed enhancement CMR for cardiac thrombi in heart failure and stroke; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation versus echocardiography.
Mendoza et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Heart failure, diffuse cardiac thrombi, and stroke (n=1). Delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging vs. Echocardiography was evaluated on Identification of a thrombus within both the left-sided and right-sided cardiac chambers. Delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provided incremental diagnostic utility for identifying thrombi within both left- and right-sided cardiac chambers in a young man with stroke.
