چکیده
A patient with platypnoea after right pneumonectomy and radiotherapy is described. On transoesophageal contrast echocardiography and cardiac catheterization, an atrial septal aneurysm with interatrial right-to-left shunting was detected. Symptoms disappeared after surgical correction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with a septal aneurysm and severe platypnoea.

Objective: To assess the mechanisms through which an enlarged aortic root may facilitate right to left shunting through a patent foramen ovale. Patients: 19 patients with the platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) were compared with 30 control patients without platypnoea. Interventions: Multiplane transoesophageal echocardiography.

Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...

OBJECTIVE Platypnea-orthodeoxia is a rare syndrome characterized by dyspnea induced by the upright position and relieved by supine position and an arterial deoxygenation increased by the upright position which improves during recumbency. Several anatomical factors that can alter the atrial anatomy and facilitate shunting through an interatrial defect have been related to this syndrome. In many ...
