Prominent crista terminalis mimicking a right atrial mass: case report
The crista terminalis is a normal anatomical structure within the right atrium that is not normally visualised in the standard views obtained while performing a transthoracic echocardiogram. In this case report, transthoracic echocardiography suggested the presence of a right atrial mass in a patient with end stage renal disease. However, subsequent transesophageal echocardiography revealed tha...
متن کاملCrista terminalis bridge: a rare variant mimicking right atrial mass.
Prominent crista terminalis is a variant of normal heart anatomy mimicking right atrial mass-like tumour, thrombus, or vegetation. The case report depicts a rare kind of this structure that constitutes a thick muscular bridge in the right atrium. Detection by 2D and 3D echocardiography can avoid further useless investigation.
متن کاملProminent crista terminalis mimicking a right atrial mixoma: cardiac magnetic resonance aspects.
A 68-year-old woman came to our observation with a clinical history of isolated systolic hypertension poorly controlled by the combination of ramipril 5 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg o.d. The ECG showed sinus rhythm with heart rate of 68 beats per minute and signs of left ventricular hypertrophy without strain. Further investigation included an echocardiogram that showed normal left and ri...
متن کاملA prominent crista terminalis associated with atrial septal aneurysm that mimics right atrial mass leading to atrial arrhythmias: a case report
UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION The crista terminalis is a variant of normal anatomical structures within the right atrium that mimics an atrial mass on a transthoracic echocardiogram. Atrial septal aneurysm is a rare but well-recognized cardiac abnormality of uncertain clinical significance. The association between crista terminalis and atrial septal aneurysm is unusual but not completely casual. B...
متن کامل"Cristal tachycardias": origin of right atrial tachycardias from the crista terminalis identified by intracardiac echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES We sought to use intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) to identify the anatomic origin of focal right atrial tachycardias and to define their relation with the crista terminalis (CT). BACKGROUND Previous studies using ICE during mapping of atrial flutter and inappropriate sinus tachycardia have demonstrated an important relation between endocardial anatomy and electrophysiologic even...
