Diagnostic Utility of Contrast Echocardiography for Detection of Left Ventricular Thrombi Post ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
In Brief
An observational study for Thrombus and Myocardial Infarction. Completed, enrolled 250 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a cross-sectional study of post myocardial infarction patients which is designed to determine the prevalence of left ventricular thrombi (blood clots) using non-contrast echocardiography and to compare this with the prevalence of left ventricular thrombi using contrast echocardiography. Secondary aims of this study are (1) to identify clinical and imaging correlates of left ventricular thrombi, and (2) to compare quantitative measurements of left ventricular chamber size, function, and myocardial mass using contrast and non-contrast echocardiography.
