Quadri-chamber cardiac thrombi in alcoholic cardiomyopathy: a rare though ominous finding
We report a case of alcoholic cardiomyopathy with an alarming finding of thrombi in all cardiac chambers. Echocardiographic evidence of quadri-chamber intracardiac thrombi has rarely been described in the literature. Case A 48-year-old man with history of chronic alcoholism presented with progressive breathlessness of 1 year's duration. Cardiovascular examination showed sinus tachycardia and evidence of congestive cardiac failure. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed dilated cardiac chambers, severe biventricular global dysfunction with an alarming finding of thrombi...
