The authors demonstrate the possibilities of two-dimensional echocardiography in the diagnosis of left ventricular thrombosis (LVT) with special reference to patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Provide the data of echocardiographic examination of 34 patients with transmural AMI. LVT was identified in 8 patients with anterior AMI. The authors show the relationship between the development of LVT and the site and extent of lesion, and the degree of left ventricular contractility disorders. Outline the prospects of further studies into LVT in patients with AMI.
