Abstract

Infection is a rare complication of cardiac mural thrombus and may prove difficult to diagnose and treat. We describe a patient with infected thrombus associated with a left ventricular aneurysm, involving Salmonella typhimurium. Cross-sectional echocardiography proved helpful in establishing the diagnosis.

Key Words: Myocardial infarction • left ventricular aneurysm • cardiac mural thrombus
