Two dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis of partial papillary muscle rupture.
SUMMARY Two dimensional echocardiography showed partial rupture of the trunk of the posteromedial papillary muscle after acute inferior myocardial infarction. The findings in this case suggest that partial rupture may be a harbinger of complete rupture. By virtue of its ability to visualise noninvasively detailed anatomy of cardiac structures in real-time format, two dimensional echocardiograph...
متن کاملThe echocardiographic diagnosis of rupture of a papillary muscle.
The echocardiographic diagnosis of acute rupture of a papillary muscle is described. The pertinent findings included (1) decreased systolic motion of the posterior wall, (2) exaggerated septal motion, (3) left ventricular enlargement and pattern suggesting left ventricular diastolic overload, and (4) bizarre fluttering of posterior leaflet of the mitral valve in diastole, suggesting an unhingin...
متن کاملRupture of a papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve. Echocardiographic diagnosis.
Abnormal tricuspid valve structure and motion resulting from the rupture of a right ventricular papillary muscle were visualised by two dimensional echocardiography. These findings were confirmed at operation. Two dimensional echocardiography appears to be a satisfactory method for evaluating patients with tricuspid regurgitation of sudden onset with a view to surgery.
متن کاملTwo-dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis of aorticopulmonary window.
Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed in two cases of distal type aorticopulmonary window. The defect of the aorticopulmonary septum could be visualised in both cases in transverse section of the great arteries using our method. We make it a rule to study three different levels of section: plane 1, where the echo of the semilunar valve of the posterior great artery is well seen; plane ...
متن کاملTwo dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis of situs.
At present there is no reliable method of recognising atrial isomerism by two dimensional echocardiography. We therefore used two dimensional echocardiography to examine 158 patients including 25 with atrial isomerism and four with situs inversus. Particular attention was paid to the short and long axis subcostal scans of the abdomen. Using the position of the inferior vena cava and the aorta w...
