Abstract

Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography detected a left atrial mass attached to the intra-atrialseptum. Intravenous contrast agent ruled out atrial thrombus, sugesting a left atrial myxoma. This highlights theimportance of contrast echocardiography for differential diagnosis of left atrial findings.

超声造影对不清楚左心房肿块的无创鉴别诊断。

经胸经食管超声心动图发现左心房肿块附着于心房间隔。静脉造影剂排除心房血栓，提示左心房黏液瘤。这突出了对比超声心动图对左心房病变鉴别诊断的重要性。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging publishes technical and clinical communications (original articles, review articles and editorial comments) associated with cardiovascular diseases. The technical communications include the research, development and evaluation of novel imaging methods in the various imaging domains. These domains include magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-ray imaging, intravascular imaging, and applications in nuclear cardiology and echocardiography, and any combination of these techniques. Of particular interest are topics in medical image processing and image-guided interventions. Clinical applications of such imaging techniques include improved diagnostic approaches, treatment , prognosis and follow-up of cardiovascular patients. Topics include: multi-center or larger individual studies dealing with risk stratification and imaging utilization, applications for better characterization of cardiovascular diseases, and assessment of the efficacy of new drugs and interventional devices.
