Ebstein’s Anomaly: An Impressive Cardiothoracic Ratio

Ebstein’s Anomaly: An Impressive Cardiothoracic Ratio

Cardiothoracic ratio upper to 0.60 is a factor of poor prognostic in patients with Ebstein’s anomaly and the prognostic is worse if is associated with others congenital heart disease. We present 4-months black boy with Ebstein’s anomaly associated with atrial septal defect, pulmonary valve atresia and patent ductus arteriosus wherein the cardiothoracic ratio nearly 1.0. The patient died five ho...

An Impressive Anthology of Microbiology Modeling

Prenatal measurement of cardiothoracic ratio in evaluation of heart disease.

The cardiothoracic ratio was measured in 410 normal fetuses and in a group of 73 fetuses with functional or structural heart disease. In normal fetuses it was fairly constant throughout pregnancy, but of those with congenital heart disease it was raised in cases of Ebstein's anomaly, tricuspid dysplasia, atrioventricular septal defect, and complete heart block. In some forms of congenital heart...

Calculation of the Cardiothoracic Ratio from Portable Anteroposterior Chest Radiography

Cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), the ratio of cardiac diameter (CD) to thoracic diameter (TD), is a useful screening method to detect cardiomegaly, but is reliable only on posteroanterior chest radiography (chest PA). We performed this cross-sectional 3-phase study to establish reliable CTR from anteroposterior chest radiography (chest AP). First, CD(Chest PA)/CD(Chest AP) ratios were determined at ...
