Usefulness of right ventricle 2D strain in arrythmogenic right ventricle dysplasia/cardiomyopathy

Clinical manifestations of right ventricle involvement in inferior myocardial infarction

Abstract Background: Early diagnosis of right ventricle (RV) involvement in inferior myocardial infarction (Inf MI) is very critical. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical findings of Inf MI with or without RV infarction. Methods: From September 2010 to September 2012, 195 patients with definite diagnosis of Inf MI were evaluated in the Department of Cardiology, in Babol, north of...

Double outlet right ventricle.

Double-chambered right ventricle.

Thirty (10.8%) of 279 patients undergoing correction of a ventricular septal defect (VSD) from January, 1972, to September, 1986, also had a double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV). Age at operation ranged from 1.3 to 18.8 years (mean, 6.7 +/- 4.5 years [+/- standard deviation]). Seventeen patients were male, and 13 were female. Two-dimensional echocardiography was used after 1978 in the initia...

Double-chambered right ventricle.

A19-year-old woman with mild exercise intolerance was referred for follow-up examination of a known ventricular septal defect (VSD; Figure 1A). By continuous-wave Doppler, a gradient across the tricuspid valve of 60 mm Hg was recorded. The parasternal short-axis view revealed an anomalous muscle bundle with insertion at the interventricular septum and the right ventricular (RV) free wall (Figur...

Right ventricle myectomy.

Right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy is common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and is associated with more severe disease. Conventional surgical strategies such as the traditional Morrow procedure pose a particularly high risk to patients with severe hypertrophy and RV obstruction, for whom the most appropriate therapeutic approach has not yet been established. We have propose...
