Abstract
- Right ventricular (RV) thrombus is an infrequent and potentially underdiagnosed life-threatening condition. Current studies suggest that multiple non-invasive imaging modalities may be used to diagnose RV thrombus. We report a 51-year-old male patient admitted with fatigue. Transthoracic echocardiography clearly showed the location, shape, and movement of the mass. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging further delineated the relative signal intensity and enhancement of the RV thrombus.
