| Abstract: | Infarction of the cardiac atria occurs more frequently than is commonly considered. Ischemic damage to the atrial myocardium is usually associated with infarction of cardiac ventricles, but isolated infarction of an atrium can occur and may be of clinical significance. We present an unusual case of an isolated right atrial infarct with an infarction-related endocardial thrombus that mimicked a mass lesion near the inferior vena cava. The presentation and causes of isolated atrial infarction are discussed. |
