  • Title: [Biventricular thrombosis in dilated cardiomyopathy. Echocardiographic and pathophysiologic study of intra-cardiac thrombosis].
    Author: Hůla J, Mastálka J, Dvorák J, Machac M.
    Journal: Cas Lek Cesk; 1989 May 19; 128(21):664-6. PubMed ID: 2758455.
    Abstract:
    The paper reports on the observations of biventricular intracardiac thrombosis in dilated cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis was made with the aid of two-dimensional echocardiography used as the method of choice in suspected intracardiac thrombosis. In the authors' opinion, the principal hemostatic disorder in intracardiac thrombosis in dilated cardiomyopathy can be caused by insufficient fibrinolysis whose degree of reduction was confirmed with stimulations tests, some of which were developed at the authors' department. Adequate treatment of intracardiac thrombosis in dilated cardiomyopathy is open to discussion. At present, apart from the standard therapy, the authors mainly suggest anti-coagulation treatment as this can prevent embolization affecting the greater or lesser blood circulation.
