Abnormal diastolic movement of the interventricular septum caused by a prolapsing right atrial myxoma.

چکیده
A 40 year old woman with cough and exertional dyspnoea was found to have a large right atrial myxoma by M mode and cross sectional echocardiography. Prolapse of the tumour into the right ventricle occurred during diastole with sufficient force to cause mechanical distortion of the interventricular septum. Septal motion became normal after surgical resection of the myxoma.

Sporadic cardiac myxoma involving all the cardiac chambers.
A thirty-two-year-old woman was admitted with complaints of fever, palpitations, and syncopal episodes for the last 3 months. On examination she was found to have elevated jugular venous pressure and pallor. Cardiovascular examination revealed loud first and second heart sounds with mid diastolic murmurs in mitral and tricuspid areas. ECG showed incomplete right bundle-branch block pattern. Tra...
متن کاملAbnormal Motion of the Interventricular Septum
ume overload was created in open-chest dogs by pumping blood from the left atrium to the right atrium. In seven of eight dogs changes in interventricular septum motion were produced acutely at shunt flow as low as 500 cc/min. When the shunt was decreased or stopped, interventricular septum motion returned to normal. Shunts producing left ventricular volume overload (aorta to left atrium and rig...

A 22-year-old woman with a right atrial myxoma prolapsing to the right ventricle is described. The haemodynamic findings were similar to those of cases of prolapsing myxoma of the left atrium; a notching on the ascending limb of the right ventricular pressure curve, and an initial negative, irregular deflection on the pulmonary artery pressure curve with a pronounced rise in the mean right atri...
متن کاملLeft ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum and obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract.
In a 60-year-old woman with episodic exertional faintness, a large left ventricular (LV) myxoma attached by a pedicle to the apical interventricular septum and prolapsing through the LV outflow tract and the aortic valve causing a severe obstruction was found by echocardiography. Early surgical excision was successfully performed using the transaortic approach.
متن کاملAn echocardiographic study of the interventricular septum in constrictive pericarditis.
Ten patients with constrictive pericarditis were studied echocardiographically with specific reference to inter-ventricular septal dynamics. Abnormal movement of the interventricular septum was present in 8 patients and consisted of flattening in systole and unusual posterior motion in diastole. The aetiology of this type of movement is at present unknown but may be related to restriction of no...
