Multimodality imaging of anomalous pulmonary veins
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is an extremely rare congenital condition where one or more of the pulmonary veins are connected to the venous circulation. Although initially suspected with unexplained right ventricular enlargement on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiac MRI is able to delineate the anatomical variant. We present a case of a 65-year-old male diagn...
متن کاملImaging of pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare and complex condition characterised by progressive worsening of pulmonary vascular resistance. The consensus definition of PH is an aggregate of haemodynamic factors that include a mean pulmonary artery pressure of greater than 25mmHg at rest or more than 30mmHg during exercise, normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance >3 Woo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension In First Degree Relatives Of Patients With Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined for the first time in 1951 as primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Some studies emphasized on the role of genetics in the development of pulmonary hypertension in family members of affected patients. So, in this study we evaluated the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in first degree family of patients with documented PPH. Methods: In thi...
متن کامل[Imaging of pulmonary arterial hypertension].
INTRODUCTION The investigation of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) requires a rigorous aetiological assessment in which imaging modalities play an important role. BACKGROUND The chest x-ray may show non-specific signs such as cardiomegaly and dilatation of the pulmonary arteries, and also allows examination of the lung parenchyma. Echocardiography is the essential screening tool and allo...
متن کاملMultimodality imaging assessment of anatomic and functional pulmonary vein stenosis.
A 68-year-old man with a history of permanent atrial fibrillation and symptoms of fatigue and palpitations underwent pulmonary vein ablation under intracardiac echocardiography and NAVX system 3D mapping guidance. He noticed improvement in his symptoms after the procedure and remained in sinus rhythm on follow-up arrhythmia monitoring. However, symptoms of shortness of breath and a nonproductiv...
