Echocardiographic Mimics of aortic root dissection.
Echocardiograms were recorded in two patients with suspected aortic root dissection. In the first patient with a massive pulmonary embolus, a simultaneous recording of the mitral ring and posterior aortic wall created a pattern similar to true posterior aortic wall dissection; in the second patient with severe generalized atherosclerosis, thickened aortic walls recorded echocardiographically we...
متن کاملEchocardiographic measurement of cardiac output using the mitral valve and aortic root echo.
The current echo method for measuring cardiac output (CO) has various technical limitations and is based on the assumptions that the left ventricle is not dilated and that it contracts uniformly. We have taken a different approach to measuring CO by echo: CO = cross-sectional area of aortic root X left ventricular ejection time X mean aortic flow velocity X heart rate. Using the Fick method, 34...
متن کاملEchocardiographic demonstration of aortic root abscess after infective endocarditis.
We describe a patient with infective endocarditis in whom the diagnosis was apparent only on two-dimensional echocardiography. There was no clinical or haematological evidence of active endocarditis and the diagnosis was made by the demonstration of an abscess cavity and vegetation posterior and lateral to the aortic root, deforming the left atrial cavity. The findings were confirmed by cardiac...
متن کاملAccuracy of echocardiography for assessing aortic root diameter.
The normal range for aortic root diameters employing the echocardiographic continuous recording technique was determined in 159 adult subjects without aortic valve disease or hypertension. In order to evaluate the accuracy of this noninvasive technique, the aortic root diameters as measured by ultrasound before operation in 31 patients with aortic valve disease were compared with their respecti...
متن کاملImpact of preoperative aortic root diameter on long-term aortic valve function after valve sparing aortic root reimplantation.
BACKGROUND Valve sparing aortic root reimplantation technique in patients with aortic root aneurysm have shown excellent mid-term results. In conjunction with the diameter of the aortic root the mechanical leaflet stress increase, which might have an impact on long-term aortic valve function after valve sparing aortic root reimplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS From July 1993 to October 2001, 16...
