Contrast echocardiography in single or common ventricle.
Common ventricle is a rare congenital anomaly in which the ventricular chamber receives blood from two separate atrioventricular valves or from a common atrioventricular valve. We used contrast echocardiography during cardiac catheterization to confirm ventricular anatomy and to characterize blood flow dynamics in 35 patients with common ventricle. After injections of dye, a cloud of echoes ant...
متن کاملThe hemodynamics of common (or single) ventricle.
Anatomic In this paper a common (single) ventricle is defined as a ventricular chamber that receives the input of blood from both atrioventricular valves either separately or as a common atrioventricular valve" 2 (fig. 1). This common ventricular chamber may or may not communicate with a secondary, smaller outflow chamber. The two great vessels (aorta and pulmonary artery) may arise from the co...
متن کاملEchocardiography of primitive ventricle.
The angiocardiographic, echocardiographic, and, where available, the necropsy findings were correlated in 32 cases of primitive ventricle. Single probe echocardiography was shown to be a reliable and accurate technique for diagnosis of primitive ventricle; the ventricular and atrioventricular valve appearances were characteristic, and the outlet chamber was usually recognised when present, thou...
متن کاملContrast Echocardiography
Ultrasound contrast agents are widely used in clinical practice for left ventricle opacification in sub-optimal echocardiograms. Recently, significant research has focused on the use of contrast echocardiography as a non-invasive means to evaluate myocardial perfusion. Advances in contrast agents as well as ultrasound technology have enabled investigations into myocardial contrast echocardiogra...
متن کاملCommon (single) ventricle with normally related great vessels.
SUMMARY A rare form of common ventricle with normally related great vessels and normal tricuspid and mitral valves should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac anomalies presenting with cyanosis. Fourteen cases of this type of common ventricle were studied; in seven the diagnosis was made at necropsy and in seven it was based on angiographic evidence. That the common ventricle ...
