ANATOMIC DISCUSSION Tricuspid A tresia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrocardiograms from 28 unselected autopsied cases of tricuspid atresia, and eight autopsied cases of single ventricle were analysed: only those cases of single ventricle which showed left axis deviation were included. Electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular preponderance in the precordial and unipolar limb leads was found in 27 of the 28 cases of tricuspid atresia, and three of the eight of single ventricle: In only two cases of single ventricle was the electrocardiogram identical with that seen in tricuspid atresia, and in one of them tricuspid stenosis was present. Right auricular hypertrophy as evidenced by high peaked P waves, together with presystolic hepatic pulsations occurred in tricuspid atresia in those instances in which, at autopsy, the interauricular communication was found to be small.

Multimodal imaging of the tricuspid valve: normal appearance and pathological entities
The tricuspid valve, which is the atrioventricular valve attached to the morphological right ventricle, is affected by a wide range of pathological processes. Tricuspid valve diseases are now increasingly recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography is the most widely available and, hence, the first-line imaging modality used in the evaluation of tricuspid valv...

A look at the current state of this final valve frontier
T he tricuspid valve has long been described as the “forgotten valve” and for good reason. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 1.6 million individuals have severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR).1 Despite a clear association with TR severity and mortality, fewer than 8,000 patients undergo surgical tricuspid repair or replacement. Most patients with severe TR are managed medic...

Two-dimensional echocardiographic features were correlated with surgical findings in 25 patients with Ebstein's anomaly (age 7 days to 71 years). There was excellent agreement between echocardiographic and surgical findings. Echocardiographic observations of anterior leaflet tethering and restriction of motion, as well as small functional right ventricle, were the strongest noninvasively obtain...
