a rare case of congenital heart disease with bifid car- diac apex: a unique finding in left ventricle
نویسندگان
چکیده
bifid cardiac apex is a rare anomaly of human hearts. we report of the case of a 34-year-old man with a previous history of ventricular septal defect (vsd) and subvalvular pulmonary stenosis. he had undergone pulmonary commissurotomy and vsd closure 22 years before he was referred to our center for evaluation of progressive dyspnea. transthoracic echocardiography revealed atrial septal defect (asd), multiple vsds, severe pulmonary regurgitation, and a bifid cardiac apex. the patient was referred for re-do surgery for asd and vsd closure along with pulmonary valve replacement, but he refused the surgery.

Cor triatriatum is an acyanotic congenital heart disease. We present a rare case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 6-month-old female infant who was presented with cyanosis and failure to thrive. The 2D transthoracic echocardiography and the Doppler color flow imaging showed a proximal venous chamber communicating to the distal left atrium through restrictive opening to the low-pressure, dis...

متن کاملLeft hemitruncus: a rare congenital heart condition.
Hemitruncus is the anomalous origin of one of the branch pulmonary arteries from the aorta and the other arises normally from the right ventricles in the presence of 2 normal semilunar valves [1–3]. It is a rare congenital lesion with a high mortality and morbidity if not diagnosed and treated surgically early in life [1,4,5]. Usually it is an isolated anomaly, but it can be associated with oth...
متن کاملRare copy number variations in congenital heart disease patients identify unique genes in left-right patterning.
Dominant human genetic diseases that impair reproductive fitness and have high locus heterogeneity constitute a problem for gene discovery because the usual criterion of finding more mutations in specific genes than expected by chance may require extremely large populations. Heterotaxy (Htx), a congenital heart disease resulting from abnormalities in left-right (LR) body patterning, has feature...
متن کاملA Case Report of left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) Tumor in a 49 old day infant
Rhabdomyomata are probably the most common tumors that occur very rarely during infancy. In this paper, we report the case of a 49-day-old infant who was diagnosed by echocardiography examination with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction caused by rhabdomyoma. The infant underwent surgical approach, and her mass was shaved. Finally, she was discharged from hospital in good gener...
