Noninvasive assessment of pulmonary arterial capacitance by pulmonary annular motion velocity in children with ventricular septal defect
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that longitudinal pulmonary arterial deformation during the cardiac cycle reflects pulmonary arterial capacitance. To examine this hypothesis, we assessed whether tissue Doppler-derived pulmonary annular motion could serve as a novel way to evaluate pulmonary arterial capacitance in pediatric patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD). METHODS In this prospective...
متن کاملThe Pulmonary Arterial Tree in Ventricular Septal Defect
T HE SIGNIFICANCE of the changes that occur in the pulmonary vascular tree in congenital heart disease with pulmonary hypertension is far from being fully understood. Data obtained from systematic investigations of the anatomic changes in young persons are exceedingly rare. For better insight into the origin of such lesions and in order to determine the sequence of events during their developme...
متن کاملThe Pulmonary Arterial Bed in Ventricular Septal Defect
go a variable clinical course largely determined by the size of the septal defect and the level of pulmonary vascular resistance.'-7 In perhaps half of the cases, the septal defect closes or becomes smaller.' Of those infants who retain large septal defects, some may maintain a high pulmonary vascular resistance from birth; in most, the resistance probably undergoes at least a transient decreas...
متن کاملHistology of pulmonary arterial supply in pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect.
A histologic study was performed on 22 specimens of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect to 1) ascertain the existence of the main pulmonary artery; 2) distinguish the ductus arteriosus from the systemic collateral arteries (SCA); 3) establish the nutritive or functional nature of collateral circulation; and 4) evaluate the morphology of the distal pulmonary bed. Three cases had abs...
متن کاملCardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Vascular Disease in Ventricular Septal Defect.
The electrocardiogram in ventricular septal defect has long been recognized as affording some ndication of the size of the defect and of the hmodynamic disturbance. In 1954, Wood, Magidson, nd Wilson reported that small defects and some defects of medium size had normal cardiograms, but that in larger defects evidence of both right and left ventricular enlargement was common. Dther workers have...
