Clinical implications of atrial isomerism.
Right atrial isomerism or left atrial isomerism is frequently diagnosed as situs ambiguous without further discrimination of the specific morbid anatomy. Thirty six cases of right atrial isomerism and seven cases of left atrial isomerism were collected from the records and pathological museum at the National Taiwan University Hospital. There was a necropsy report for 18 cases. In all patients o...
متن کاملConjoined twins, right atrial isomerism, and sequential segmental analysis.
Three cases of twins conjoined across the chest were examined. In one set, one twin showed right atrial isomerism and the other showed the usual atrial arrangement. The other two sets showed the usual atrial arrangement in both twins. The associated cardiac anomalies were diverse, ranging from atrioventricular septal defects to absent atrioventricular connections. Sequential segmental analysis ...
متن کاملSupraventricular tachycardia in patients with right atrial isomerism.
OBJECTIVES To clarify the prevalence and mechanism of supraventricular tachycardia in patients with right atrial isomerism. BACKGROUND Paired SA and dual atrioventricular (AV) nodes have been described in patients with right atrial isomerism. However, the clinical significance remains unclear. METHODS From 1987 to 1996, a total of 101 patients (61 male, 40 female) and four fetuses were iden...
متن کاملSinus node dysfunction in a patient with left atrial isomerism.
We report the case of an asymptomatic six-year-old child with left atrial isomerism and sinus venosus atrial septal defect. The physical examination revealed several periods of bradycardia. During a 24-hour electrocardiographic monitoring the patient presented a significant sinus node dysfunction with sinus pauses of up to 2.4 seconds. A permanent pacemaker was implanted, with a satisfactory ou...
متن کاملRight atrial isomerism in children older than 3 years
BACKGROUND There is a high mortality in infants with right atrial isomerism (RAI). However, less is known about outcome in older children with RAI. This study sought to evaluate those patients with RAI who survived older than 3 years of age without surgical intervention. RESULTS A total of 33 consecutive patients (20 males) were enrolled in the study, mean age 6 years (range 3-32). None of th...
