Gross right heart dilatation secondary to Ebstein's anomaly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac imaging is essential for the diagnosis and follow-up individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD). Currently echocardiography is the first-line investigation, although no single imaging technique is sufficient for complete evaluation of cardiac anatomy and physiology in these patients. Increasingly, adults with CHD are referred for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Thehigh spatial resolution, functional assessment capabilities and excellent reproducibility of CMR make it a desirable investigation for CHD [1]. Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare (incidence ≈1 in 200 000 live births) congenital heart disorder characterized by malformations of the tricuspid valve (TV) and right ventricle (RV). The hallmark features are clearly demonstrated in this CMR study. They are:

Clinical study on the abnormal flow patterns in Ebstein's anomaly using pulsed Doppler echocardiography.
Pulsed Doppler echocardiography (PDE) was performed in 10 patients with Ebstein's anomaly and 10 cases of tricuspid regurgitation secondary to mitral stenosis. Distal atrialized right ventricle (ATRV): In all patients with Ebstein's anomaly, tricuspid regurgitation flow was recognized by PDE. In this lesion with moderate tricuspid regurgitation, a widely dispersed dot pattern was recorded durin...
متن کاملAn atypical assessment of Ebstein's anomaly in an 86-year-old man.
We present the echocardiographic analysis of an 86-year-old man affected by Ebstein's anomaly. In the natural history of this congenital disease only 5% of patients survive beyond the fifth decade. The patient presented severe right atrial dilatation and right heart failure, and he was referred to our institution for supraventricular tachycardia.
متن کاملAtrialised right ventricular myxoma in a patient with Ebstein’s anomaly
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare entity affecting around 1 in 200,000 live births and accounts for less than 1% of congenital heart diseases. Ebstein's anomaly with an associated right-sided myxoma is extremely rare, with only one other case report found in the literature. Previous reports have also noted cases of Ebstein's anomaly associated with left-sided myxomas. We describe a female patient wit...
متن کاملEbstein's anomaly associated with splenomegaly and reversible hypersplenism.
A case of Ebstein's anomaly associated with chronic right heart failure, hepatosplenomegaly, and the haematological features of hypersplenism is presented. The haematological abnormalities were corrected after tricuspid valve replacement but recurred with the reemergence of clinical features of right heart failure.
متن کاملReversed offsetting of the septal attachments of the atrioventricular valves and Ebstein's malformation of the morphologically mitral valve.
Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve is characterised by downstream displacement of the tricuspid leaflets. In the case of the septal leaflet, the result is exaggerated offsetting of the atrioventricular valves. Thus it might be supposed that in Ebstein's anomaly of the mitral valve, downstream displacement of the aortic (septal) leaflet of the mitral valve could move its attachment beyond ...
