Calcified right atrial thrombi are rare cardiac masses that may be complicated by pulmonary embolism. Although they can be discovered by a transthoracic echocardiography, they may need histological examination to differentiate them from other cardiac masses. We report a case of a 44-year-old woman who presented with a calcified right atrial thrombus and progressive dyspnoea.
钙化的右心房血栓是罕见的心脏肿物,可能并发肺栓塞。虽然经胸超声心动图可以发现它们,但可能需要组织学检查以将其与其他心脏肿物区分开来。我们报告一例44岁女性患者,其表现为钙化的右心房血栓和进行性呼吸困难。
