Abstract
Two cases of spontaneous echocardiographic contrast in the left ventri cle, using transthoracic echocardiography, are presented. One is due t o a low-flow state in a patient with a dilated miocardiopathy. In the other me observed the echogenicity of a turbulent intracardiac blood f low across a mitral prothesis. We considered the differents theories t hat tried to explain the multiple origin of this ''smoke''.
