[Left ventricular thrombus--variability of causes and clinical presentation--four case reports]. / Skrzeplina w swietle lewej komory. Róznorodnosc przyczyn i przebiegu klinicznego na podstawie czterech przypadków.

Thrombi occurring in heart chambers, particularly in the left ventricle, are very often due to diseases leading to heart dilation. Thrombi could dissolve spontaneously or as a result of pharmacological treatment. They could also be mobilizes and produce emboli. The risk of emboli vary significantly from low to extremely high due to different morphology and mobility of thrombi. The most effective treatment of thrombi is to cure the underlying disease. Additionally antithrombotic agents or surgical treatment may be applied. In this article 4 cases with different clinical course treated only with drugs are presented.

[Changes in electrocardiographic and angiographic images in the course of myocardial infarction]. / Dynamika zmian obrazu elektrokardiograficznego i angiograficznego w przebiegu zawalu serca.

Different types of disorders, varying in time, concerning atrio-ventricular (AV) conductivity may occur during myocardial infarction (MI). Similarly, angiography may reveal the dynamics within lesions of thrombosis in arteries. A case of 58 year-old man, who suffered from temporal AV block of all degrees, and what is more, a block in anterior fascicle or the whole left bundle branch in the bundle of His is presented. Only the second coronary arteriography revealed a thrombosis in coronary artery. Successful angioplasty resulted in relief of symptoms and conductivity disorders. Clinical course of MI was discussed on the basis of the described case.
