Early Systolic Clicks due to Mitral Valve
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four patients had evidence that mitral valve prolapse was the etiology of isolated early systolic clicks that were "ejection" in timing, that is, within 80 msec of the first heart sound (S1). Phonocardiography demonstrated movement of the click closer to S, (three patients) with no change (three patients) or an increase in click amplitude (one patient) on inspiration. Earlier movement of systolic clicks on inspiration is a known feature of midsystolic clicks related to mitral valve prolapse but not of true aortic ejection sounds. In three patients the early systolic click showed a variable relation to the carotid upstroke, suggesting that the two events were not related. The click of the fourth patient occurred after the carotid upstroke. In one patient the click could be brought out by standing. Apical holosystolic murmurs could be elicited in all patients.

متن کاملComparison of Captopril with Enalapril on Improvement of Systolic and Diastolic Heart Functions in Asymptomatic Patients Over 10 Years Old with Beta- Thalassemia Major
Background: Beta-thalassemia major is a severe and lethal hemolytic anemia. Regular transfusion is necessary for avoidance of its complications but it may end to cardiac involvement secondary to iron overload. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are useful medications even in early stages of heart failure. We studied the effects of two common ACEIs on improvement of heart function ...
متن کاملMid-systolic sound associated with aortic insufficiency and bisferiens pulse.
Systolic ejection clicks, often associated with cardiac disease, can be distinguished from mid-systolic clicks of mitral and tricuspid origin, which are frequently benign. A different mid-systolic sound has been recognized, with timing similar to the mid-systolic clicks, which is associated with aortic insufficiency. This report describes a case in which such a sound was identified prior to aor...
متن کاملEffect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse
Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...
متن کاملLate systolic click in non-obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Two patients with seriously impaired left ventricular function, abnormal left ventricular conduction on the electrocardiogram, mitral regurgitation, and a very late systolic click are reported. Idiopathic non-obstructive cardiomyopathy seemed to be the cause of the left ventricular dysfunction in both cases. The mitral valve was anatomically normal at the time of operation in one patient, excep...
