A Dark Spot Was Found In Heart Ultrasound. What Does It Mean?
A dark spot was found in a heart ultrasound my brother had done recently The dark spot showed up at the back of the heart About the size of a quarter with a small white center What is this I m a 48 year old male. Recently I had an ultrasound performed on my heart. A dark spot about the size of a quarter was visible at the back of the heart. The dark spot has a small white center. Doctors do not know what it is. Test results for another type of testing are due next week. May possibly know more. What could this be?
