Abnormal diastolic motion of interventricular septum during inspiratory phase. Echocardiographic study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a patient without heart disease who had pulsus paradoxus, associated with echocardiographic evidence of abnormal and exaggerated diastolic motion of interventricular septum. Both phenomena appeared at the peak of the inspiratory phase of respiration, and seemed to be produced from the same haemodynamic variations, of which the echocardiographic pattern appears to be a more sensitive index than the sphygmographic one.

Echocardiographic manifestation of right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
This case report describes the distinctive echocardiographic pattern in a patient with a congenital right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The eChocardiogram demonstrated an abnormal structure extending from the aortic root into the left ventricular chamber adjacent to the interventricular septum. The structure showed diastolic motion away from the septum and systolic motion toward the septum. This ...
متن کاملAn echocardiographic study of the interventricular septum in constrictive pericarditis.
Ten patients with constrictive pericarditis were studied echocardiographically with specific reference to inter-ventricular septal dynamics. Abnormal movement of the interventricular septum was present in 8 patients and consisted of flattening in systole and unusual posterior motion in diastole. The aetiology of this type of movement is at present unknown but may be related to restriction of no...
متن کاملComparison of interventricular septal motion studied by ventriculography and echocardiography in patients with atrial septal defect.
Abnormal systolic interventricular septal motion is an echocardiographic manifestation of right ventricular volume overload. In order to determine the anatomical basis for this echocardiographic finding, septal motion recorded by left lateral or left anterior oblique ventriculograms was compared with echocardiography ventricular septal motion. Thirteen patients with secundum atrial septal defec...
متن کاملA Potential Echocardiographic Classification for Constrictive Pericarditis Based on Analysis of Abnormal Septal Motion
BACKGROUND Constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon condition that could be easily confused with congestive heart failure. In symptomatic patients, septal "wobble" on echocardiography may be an important sign of constrictive physiology. This study was planned to investigate the effects of constriction on septal motion as identified by echocardiography. METHODS In this retrospective observatio...
متن کاملAn echocardiographic study of interventricular septal motion in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Echocardiographic studies of interventricular septal motion were performed in 26 consecutive patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and in ten normal subjects. All patients with types A or B pre-excitation were subclassified into groups I to IV on the basis of their electrocardiogram utilizing the method of Boineau and associates. In all 14 patients with type A (Group III or IV)...
