Why the study?
Can two-dimensional echocardiography detect in vivo regional stasis of blood in the dysfunctional left ventricle and distinguish it from thrombosis?
Can two-dimensional echocardiography detect in vivo regional stasis of blood in the dysfunctional left ventricle and distinguish it from thrombosis?
Two-dimensional echocardiography can detect regional blood stasis in the dysfunctional left ventricle and differentiate it from frank thrombosis, which has important clinical implications.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Echocardiography distinguishes LV stasis from thrombi in animal models; leaves open translation to human thrombosis risk stratification.
Mikell et al. (1982) studied this question.
