Regional right ventricular dysfunction in acute pulmonary embolism and right ventricular infarction.
BACKGROUND A normally contracting right ventricular apex associated to a severe hypokinesia of the mid-free wall ('McConnell sign') has been considered a distinct echocardiographic pattern of acute pulmonary embolism. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical utility of the 'McConnell sign' in the bedside diagnostic work-up of patients presenting to the Emergency Department with an acute right ventr...
متن کاملAcute ECG ST-segment elevation mimicking myocardial infarction in a patient with pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism is a common cardiovascular emergency, but it is still often misdiagnosed due to its unspecific clinical symptoms. Elevated troponin concentrations are associated with greater morbidity and mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism. Right ventricular ischemia due to increased right ventricular afterload is believed to be underlying mechanism of elevated troponin values in ...
متن کاملA case of right ventricular bronchogenic cyst with the clinical presentation of cerebral infarction and pulmonary embolism
A congenital malformation of the bronchial tree, known as bronchial cyst, is mostly found in the mediastinum or lung. Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts are quite rare and only two cases of right ventricular bronchogenic cyst have so far been reported. We herein report a case in which a cyst developed in the right ventricle of a 65-year-old Japanese male who presented with aphasia due to cerebral ...
متن کاملUnusual Presentation of A Massive Pulmonary Embolism
A pulmonary embolus clogs the artery that provides blood supply to a part of the lung. The embolus not only prevents the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide but also decreases blood supply to the lung tissue itself, potentially causing the tissue to die (infarct). A 52-year-old man presented with syncope and anxiety. He had sinus tachycardia and dilated right ventricle with trabeculations. A ...
متن کاملRole of hybrid operating room in surgery for the right atrial thrombus, pulmonary thrombi, and ventricular septal rupture after myocardial infarction
Free-floating right heart thrombi are uncommon and need emergency treatment in view of their tendency to dislodge and cause pulmonary embolism. We report a successful surgical management of a patient who had large mobile right atrial thrombus, bilateral pulmonary thrombi, coronary artery disease, and postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture (VSR). The patient underwent coronary angi...
متن کاملThe Influence of Occult Right Ventricular Infarction
Clinical and hemodynamic manifestations of overt right ventricular infarction differ markedly from those that involve injury confined exclusively to the left ventricle. However, the frequency of covert right ventricular infarction and its influence on overall enzymatically estimated infarct size, hemodynamics and prognosis have not been characterized. Accordingly, 249 patients with transmural a...
