Diagnostic Utility of Contrast Echocardiography for Detection of LV Thrombi Post ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Completed

Conditions studied: Thrombus, Myocardial Infarction

In brief

This is a cross-sectional study of post myocardial infarction patients which is designed to determine the prevalence of left ventricular thrombi (blood clots) using non-contrast echocardiography and to compare this with the prevalence of left ventricular thrombi using contrast echocardiography. Secondary aims of this study are (1) to identify clinical and imaging correlates of left ventricular thrombi, and (2) to compare quantitative measurements of left ventricular chamber size, function, and myocardial mass using contrast and non-contrast echocardiography.

You may qualify if…

• all patients who are admitted to The New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Medical College of Cornell University (NYP-WMC) with ST elevation myocardial infarctions

You may not qualify if…

• contraindications to MRI at time of planned imaging (e.g. metallic contra-indication, pacemaker, implantable cardiac defibrillator, cochlear implants, aneurysm clips intolerance of the imaging protocol due to NYHA IV heart failure or CCS class IV angina)
