Figures

None
Fig. 1. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (modified apical 4-chamber view) shows the hyperechogenic thrombus (arrow) within the left ventricular apex and minimal pericardial effusion (arrowhead).
None
Fig. 2. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (modified apical 4-chamber view) shows the hyperechogenic thrombus within the left ventricular apex (arrow). The right side of the heart is not affected. LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle Real-time motion image is available at www.texasheart.org/journal.
None
Fig. 3. Transmitral flow pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography shows high filling pressures consistent with a restrictive filling pattern. E, 1.1 m/sec; A, 0.5 m/sec; E/A ratio, >2.
None
Fig. 4. Pulsed-wave tissue Doppler echocardiography at the septal mitral annulus shows that the E' velocity is less than 7 cm/sec. The E/E' ratio is higher than 15, indicating that the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure exceeds 20 mmHg. This finding is consistent with a restrictive filling pattern.
