Echocardiographic Characteristics of Cardiac thrombus in Patients With
Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection
Abstract
Right ventricular thrombus in Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP)
patient is rare. Herein we reported 4 cases of right ventricular
thrombus. All of them were diagnosed of severe mycoplasma pneumonia,
with increased D-dimer. There was no abnormality in the atrial and
ventricular diameters with a normal cardiac function during the course
of the illness. Every thrombus was closely attached to the tricuspid
chordae. Except one thrombus surgically removed, the remaining thrombi
dissolved during the follow-ups.
