Mean platelet volume in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: does it have a role in left ventricular thrombus formation?

abstract：:Safety and thrombus imaging capabilities of the 99mTc-labeled form of a new F(ab')2 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) against fragment D dimers from cross-linked human fibrin, previously shown to be effective labeled to 131I in detecting venous thrombi in the rabbit, were investigated.
