What Causes Dark Spots On The Heart?

Hi my twin brother had a test on his heart done and was told he had 2 black spots. He has to have another cath done and the cardiologist seem to be really concerned about the spots. What might they be or how can I look up info on this? Also with us being twins should I be checked? I have MVP with regurgitation and an enlarged left ventricle.
