Left atrial appendage dysfunction in acute embolic stroke young patients with sinus rhythm: Correlation with Tissue Doppler mitral annular systolic velocity
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.artres.201 1872-9312/a 2016 Association for Resear Abstract Background: Trans-esophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is a gold standard test for diagnosis of left atrial (LA) appendage function. Aim: To evaluate left atrial appendage (LAA) dysfunction using mitral annular systolic velocity measured by tissue Doppler imaging “Sm” in acute embolic stroke young patients with s...
متن کاملPapillary Fibroelastoma of the Mitral Valve: an Unusual Cause of Mitral Valve Obstruction
A 50-year-old adult female was admitted to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of dyspnea on effort. Cardiac examination revealed a diastolic murmur best heard at the apex, but was otherwise unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a mobile, spherical, hyperechoic, homogeneous mass attached to the posterior mitral leaflet which was causing significant mitral stenosis. 2-dime...
متن کاملEvaluation of transesophageal echocardiography in detecting cardiac sources of emboli in ischemic stroke patients
Background: Embolus is one of the causes of ischemic stroke that can be due to cardiac sources such as valvular heart diseases and atrial fibrillation and atheroma of the aorta. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior in identifying potential cardiac sources of emboli. Due to insufficient data on TEE findings in ischemic stroke in Iran, the present study was done to evaluate TEE in...
متن کاملIntracardiac pseudotumor caused by mitral annular calcification.
The current report describes a rare case of a pseudotumor in the left ventricle. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a round, echodense, mobile mass attached to the posterior mitral leaflet and annulus. At surgical exploration caseous annular calcification of the posterior mitral leaflet was diagnosed. After resection of the mass, successful mitral valvular plasty wa...
متن کاملRisk of Cerebral Embolization with Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus: Review Article
BACKGROUND Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is believed to have a benign prognosis. Several authors have recommended conservative management in asymptomatic patients. However, the prevalence of cerebrovascular events (CVE) in patients with CCMA has never been evaluated before. The aims of this study are to investigate whether patients with CCMA are at increased risk of cerebra...
