Abstract

The authors conducted a scintigraphic study of the cardiac cavity in 140 patients to detect postinfarction aneurysms. 113m In Cl3 (185 MBq) and the conventional Picker I magna-scanner (USA) were employed. A conclusion has been made as to a good choice of the angiotropic marker 113m In for the diagnosis of postinfarction aneurysm of the left ventricle and the determination of a degree of its thrombosis. The use of the method for differential diagnosis between aortal aneurysm and a mediastinal tumor process was stressed.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
