Univentricular heart.
As early as 1699, Chemineau described a heart composed of 2 auricles but only 1 ventricle. The univentricular heart has since fascinated the medical community. Unique in its complexity and scope, the univentricular heart has sparked intense debates about embryology and nomenclature, challenged our understanding of cardiovascular physiology and hemodynamics, and inspired some of the most creativ...
متن کاملAngiographic study of univentricular heart of right ventricular type.
An angiographic analysis of 10 cases of univentricular heart of the right ventricular type is reported. This congenital malformation is characterized by a large chamber with right ventricular morphology that receives both atrioventricular valves, and a second, smaller chamber, a trabecular pouch, with left ventricular morphology. These chambers are separated by a posterior septum but are connec...
متن کاملEditorial: Univentricular Heart
Decades ago, the surgeons were asking themselves if it was possible to improve the natural history of patients with “functionally” univentricular heart (1). In order to facilitate the understanding and the subsequent decision making, for the first time, the patients with “functionally” univentricular heart were divided into two groups: (1) restricted pulmonary blood flow and (2) unrestricted pu...
متن کاملThe New Concept of Univentricular Heart
The concept of univentricular heart moved from hearts with only one ventricle connected with atria [double inlet ventricle or absent atrioventricular (AV) connection] to hearts not amenable to biventricular repair, namely hearts with two ventricles unable to sustain separately pulmonary and systemic circulations in sequence. In the latter definition, even hearts with one hypoplastic ventricle a...
متن کاملTwo dimensional echocardiographic categorisation of the univentricular heart. Ventricular morphology, type, and mode of atrioventricular connection.
Most univentricular hearts have two chambers in their ventricular mass, only one of which possesses an atrioventricular connection. Categorisation into univentricular heart of right, left, or indeterminate type, using two dimensional echocardiography has been successfully achieved in 122 out of 132 patients to whom this technique has been applied. Thus, right ventricular rudimentary chambers in...
