Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Systolic Excursion and Fractional Shortening for the Assessment of Right Ventricular Function
Dear Sir, The report on “Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) systolic excursion (SE) and fractional shortening (FS)” is very interesting.[1] Allam et al. raised an interesting question, “Can these echocardiographic parameters be used for the assessment of right ventricular (RV) function?” Clinically, RV function assessment is useful for initial assessment, diagnosis, and follow-up of the pat...
متن کاملRight ventricular myxoma obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract.
A12-year-old previously healthy girl developed syncope when walking at school. When she was seen in the emergency department, her heart rate was 115 bpm, the precordial impulse was active, and a thrill was palpated. Third and fourth heart sounds were heard. A grade 4/6 systolic ejection murmur was heard at the left upper sternal border. The chest x-ray demonstrated a mildly enlarged, globular h...
متن کاملRight ventricular myxoma causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Cardiac myxomas are the most common neoplasms of the heart. They can be located in any chamber of the heart but frequently in the left atrium. In this report we present a patient who had been treated for a right ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum and leading to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
متن کاملStenting of the right ventricular outflow tract.
OBJECTIVE To assess the indication, technical aspects, and outcome of stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in the management of symptomatic patients with severely limited pulmonary blood flow. METHODS Retrospective case note and procedure review of patients undergoing stenting of the RVOT over an 8 year period. PATIENTS Between 2005 and 2012, 52 selected patients underwent...
متن کاملReduced fractional shortening of right ventricular outflow tract is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with left ventricular dysfunction
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest the significance of right ventricular (RV) function in the outcome in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVSD); however, global assessment of RV remains to be determined by echocardiogram because of its complex geometry. This study aimed to validate RV outflow tract fractional shortening (RVOT-FS) in the evaluation of RV function and its prognostic val...
