[Detection by echocardiography of a XXXX of the right cavities in @entity1151 ].

@entity1 @entity715 @entity887 @entity1151
Echocardiography evaluates the severity of @entity1151 from its repercussions on haemodynamics. However, many authors have reported the discovery of @entity715 in the right heart cavities of @entity1 with @entity1151 . In order to assess the frequency of intracavitary @entity715 and to evaluate the practical problems it raises, we have systematically examined by echocardiography 84 @entity1 hospitalized for severe, @entity1151 (mean Miller's score: 21). In this series of 39 @entity1 and 45 @entity1 (mean age 62 years), 9 thrombi were detected, i.e. an incidence of 11%. Depending on the ultrasonographic images they presented, these @entity1 were divided into two groups: 1. Six @entity1 with low mobility thrombi attached to the cardiac wall. All benefited from a medical treatment consisting of heparin in 4 cases and a thrombolytic drug in 2 cases. There was no clinical evidence of recurrent @entity887 . Echocardiography showed complete disappearance of the thrombi in 5 of these 6 @entity1 and partial regression under heparin therapy in one. 2. Three @entity1 with a large and mobile @entity715 threatening to prolapse through the tricuspid valve during atrial systole. It seemed rational to regard such thrombi as carrying a high risk of @entity887 with recurrences, especially since they had formed in @entity1 already with severe @entity1151 . This view was confirmed by a search in the literature which yielded a 40% death rate figure when these thrombi were associated with @entity1151 . This high mortality, however, can be reduced by diagnostic and therapeutic measures.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
