Subacute right heart failure in a patient was successfully treated with anticoagulation and surgery after echocardiography revealed atrial thrombi. Echocardiography is crucial for diagnosing these cardiac masses, with surgery offering a viable treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • Subacute right heart failure can be caused by various underlying conditions.
  • Atrial thrombi are a potential cause of heart failure and embolic events.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old patient presented with symptoms of subacute right heart failure.
  • Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography were performed for diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Echocardiography identified the presence of thrombi within both atria.
  • Initial anticoagulation therapy was administered.
  • Surgical intervention was subsequently performed.

Implications:

  • Echocardiography plays a decisive role in the diagnosis of atrial thrombi causing heart failure.
