چکیده

Right atrial hypertension and pericardial effusion developed 2 years after mastectomy for fibrosarcoma. Clinical and echocardiographic features suggested right ventricular tumour. At catheterization the right ventricular cavity was almost obliterated, with an infundibular gradient of 13 mmHg, and biopsy of the mass was attempted. Post-mortem revealed extensive infiltrating and intracavitary right ventricular fibrosarcoma without extracardiac tumour.

Clinical, haemodynamic, and angiographic findings in Löffler's eosinophilic endocarditis.

Detailed haemodynamic and angiographic findings in Löffler's endocarditis are presented for the first time in a report of 3 cases of this rare disease. In 2 of the cases the right ventricular cavity was obliterated; in one of them this was shown by biopsy to be caused by organized thrombus. In the third case, there was progressive mitral regurgitation.

Echocardiographic, haemodynamic, and angiographic correlations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Attempts to identify a pathognomonic abnormality in 'idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis' date back to the time of its recognition. We examined the echocardiographic, haemodynamic, and angiographic features of 14 consecutive patients in whom the clinical diagnosis was supported by the presence of both asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior movement of the anterior leaflet ...

An echocardiographic study of right and left ventricular adaptation to physical exercise in elite female orienteers.

BACKGROUND A considerable body of echocardiographic studies has described how athletic training induces morphological adaptation of the left ventricle in male endurance athletes, but only a few studies have described left ventricular adaptation in female endurance athletes. In contrast to changes in the left ventricle far less attention has been directed towards right ventricular changes due to...

Echocardiographic diagnosis of atrial septal aneurysm in an infant with hypoplastic right heart syndrome.

Echocardiographic findings are described in a patient with hypoplastic right heart syndrome (pulmonary atresia type with intact ventricular septum and small right ventricular cavity) who had an associated atrial septal aneurysm. An unusual appearance of echoes behind the aorta bulging into the left atrium in diastole on both the M-mode and cross-sectional echo suggested this diagnosis prior to ...

Echocardiographic features of free floating thrombus mimicking right ventricular myxoma.

M-mode and cross-sectional echocardiography performed in a patient with acute pulmonary embolism showed a sausage shaped, mobile mass in the right ventricular cavity highly suggestive of a right ventricular myxoma. Emergency thoracotomy 24 hours later showed the right ventricle to be free of tumour but both pulmonary arteries contained embolised venous thrombi, one or more of which were thought...
