Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge: A Case of Right Ventricular Thrombus.
Global cardiology science & practice(2024)
Abstract
Right ventricular thrombus is a rare finding found in 4% of people diagnosed with pulmonary embolism. Although right ventricular thrombi are usually associated with atrial fibrillation, deep venous vein thrombi, or intracardiac procedures, isolated right ventricular thrombi are rare. Right ventricular thrombus has also been reported in patients with right ventricular infarction, as hypokinesis of the right ventricle causes blood stasis and promotes thrombosis as per Virchow's triad. However, we present a case of isolated RV thrombus in a patient without evidence of deep vein thrombosis or right ventricular hypokinesis who presented with dyspnea on exertion.
