Abstract:
Intracardial thrombus in children is induced by multiple etilolgies. The most common reasons are chronic heart failure and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Intracardial thrombus lack specific symptom and sign. More than 90% intracardial thrombus of left heart are localized at apex. The two-dimensional echocardiogramgram, especially transesophageal echocardiography and heart computer scan are the common methods to check out intracardial thrombus. The therapy of intracardial thrombus include anticoagulation, thrombolysis and operation. This review summarized recent studies about intracardial thrombus in terms of etiology, diagnosis and treatments.
