Cardiocascular images. M-mode echocardiographic demonstration of atrial flutter.
In cases with narrow QRS-complex tachycardia, prompt differentiation of the etiology is crucial in management. M-mode echocardiographic examination of the interatrial septum can give important information in the emergency department. A 57-year-old man who had palpitation and dyspnea for 2 days visited our emergency department. The initial ECG showed negative saw-tooth–shaped atrial activity in ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic demonstration of atrioventricular mechanical contraction in atrial flutter.
We present the case of a 54-year-old patient with no history of heart disease who underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to rule out the presence of thrombus in the left atrial appendage (LAA) prior to programmed electrical cardioversion for common counterclockwise atrial flutter with 2:1 ventricular response at 150 bpm. The TEE confirmed good biventricular function, no thrombus in LA...
متن کاملEchocardiographic findings in atrial flutter.
Echocardiographic studies were performed in 22 patients with atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. In atrial flutter, the echocardiograms consistently demonstrated regular undulatory waves of the posterior left atrial wall and upper left interventricular septum coinciding with each flutter wave of the electrocardiogram. The mitral valve was slightly reopened by each flutter wave occurring aft...
متن کاملDual echocardiographic determination of atrial contraction sequence in atrial flutter and other related atrial arrhythmias.
We have applied the new technique of dual echocardiography to determine the sequence of atrial contraction as reflected in the simultaneously recorded movements of the tricuspid and mitral valves. The study group included 29 normal subjects and 23 patients with either atrial flutter, coarse atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia with block. In normal individuals, right atrial contraction pre...
متن کاملM-mode echocardiographic features of endomyocardial fibrosis.
M-mode echocardiographic findings are described in 21 patients with endomyocardial fibrosis. Features associated with right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis include: (i) exaggerated motion and thickening of the anterior right ventricular wall; (ii) increased right ventricular end-diastolic dimension; and (iii) paradoxical septal motion. Pericardial effusion (viz an echo-free space behind the...
