A 50-year-old male patient with dilated cardiomyopathy was evaluated for cardiac resynchronization therapy. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a mass in close proximity to the coronary sinus ostium.The mass was considered to be a thrombus and found to have disappeared at the repeat echocardiogram performed following a month of anticoagulation therapy with warfarin. In this case report, we aim to emphasize the importance of coronary sinus imaging, especially during echocardiographic evaluation for cardiac asynchrony.
一名患有扩张型心肌病的50岁男性患者接受了心脏再同步治疗评估。经胸超声心动图显示在冠状静脉窦口附近有一个肿块。该肿块被认为是血栓,在接受华法林抗凝治疗一个月后进行的重复超声心动图检查中发现其已消失。在本病例报告中,我们旨在强调冠状静脉窦成像的重要性,尤其是在对心脏不同步进行超声心动图评估期间。
