چکیده

Premature closure of an atrioventricular valve was observed in 80 of a group of 519 subjects catheterized for aortic insufficiency (Al) or mitral insufficliency (MI), or both. Sole premature mitral closure (PMC) was present in nine subjects, sole premature tricuspid closure (PTC) in 40, and combined PMC and PTC in 31. Clinically PMC was associated with a first sound that was soft or absent in 75% and an atrial contraction sound in 50% of the subjects with dominant aortic insufficiency. PMC or PTC, or both, were verified at surgery in three subjects and were produced experimentally in intact dogs by acute AI. The presence of PMC and PTC appears related to the severity and chronicity of valvular disease.

Echophonocardiographic studies of the contribution of the atrioventricular valves to the first heart sound.

The movements of the mitral, tricuspid and aortic valves have been recorded echocardiographically and related to the first heart sound (S1) in patients with various hemodynamic and conduction abnormalities. Closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves has been studied with respect to the corresponding atrioventricular pressure crossover and it is clear that both valves finish closing about 50 mse...

Value of M-mode echocardiography for non-invasive diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly.

M-mode echocardiographic studies were performed in 11 patients, most of them adults, with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve, proven by cardiac catheterisation. Simultaneous recordings of the tricuspid and mitral valves were obtained in all cases, the transducer position being outside the left midclavicular line in seven patients. Tricuspid valve closure followed mitral valve closure in a...

The first heart sound in left bundle branch block: an echophonocardiographic study.

To examine the nature of the first heart sound in left bundle branch block (LBBB), 26 patients with LBBB were studied using echophonocardiography. Apexcardiograms and systolic time intervals were also obtained from these patients and the results were compared with 20 normal subjects. Mitral closure preceded tricuspid closure by 0.02-0.04 second in 19 of the 20 normal subjects. In contrast, in s...

Factors responsible for normal splitting of first heart sound. High-speed echophonocardiographic study of valve movement.

Echocardiographic studies have confirmed that normal splitting of the first heart sound is a result of mitral valve closure preceding tricuspid valve closure. This fits in with contraction of the left ventricle before the right, but the width of splitting is usually greater than would be expected from the known ventricular asynchrony. The importance of atrial systole, which initiates closure of...

Heart Carcinoid Disease with Patent Foramen Ovale Treated by Mini Sternotomy

This case report was an attempt to present the importance of diagnostic echocardiography and closure of a patent foramen ovale in carcinoid heart disease. Herein, we present a case of a 48-year-old woman with a carcinoid metastasis presenting with tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonic stenosis, patent foramen ovale, and borderline left ventricular ejection fraction on an echocardiogram. Surgical in...
