Clinical and echocardiographic features of right section thrombotic masses
Right section mass | Clinical/echocardiographic features |
---|---|
Right atrial thrombus | Suspicion or already-validated diagnosis of PE |
Isoechoic/hyperechoic intra-atrial, mobile mass with definite edges and variable size or shape | |
Right ventricular thrombus | Isoechoic/hyperechoic intraventricular mobile mass with definite edges and variable size or shape |
Migrating thrombus into RV in suspected or already-validated diagnosis of PE | |
Myocardial infarction of the right ventricle (wall motion-related abnormalities, isoechoic/hyperechoic mass with defined margins distinct from endocardial edge and mural attachment) |
PE=Pulmonary embolism, RV=Right ventricle
