چکیده
The patient was a 23-year-old white man with Down’s syndrome who was referred to us for evaluation of a heart murmur which had been present since birth. Physical examination revealed a well nourished acyanotic white man (height 5’4”, and weight 110 lb) with typical Down’s facies and a short and slightly webbed appearing neck. The carotid arteries had good upstroke (no bruits), extremities revealed slightly bounding peripheral pulses. and there was no jugular venous distension at 450 The heart showed no visible precordial pulsations and had no palpable thrill or heave.

Fluttering of the mitral valve in aortic insufficiency.
Thirty-five patients with clinical evidence of aortic insufficiency were studied by echocardiography. Eleven patients had characteristic diastolic fluttering of the mitral valve (30 to 40 Hz, maximal amplitude 4 mm). In five others the fluttering was classified as equivocal. In a control group of 500 echocardiograms in patients without evidence of aortic insufficiency, there were three examples...
متن کاملFluttering of the interventricular septum. The result of truncal insufficiency.
We present a child with truncus arteriosus and truncal insufficiency who had diastolic fluttering of the anterior mitral valve leaflet and left ventricular surface of the interventricular septum on echocardiogram. Although the fluttering has been previously described in patients with aortic insufficiency, it has not been reported with truncus arteriosus.

We report on a 32-year-old male patient with acute left-hemispheric stroke caused by embolism due to infective endocarditis affected from the HACEK group. Additionally, atypical findings from the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) which showed fluttering structures belonging to the papillary muscle could be proven as infectious agents with the help of a glucose positron emission tomography ...
متن کاملEchocardiography of the "floppy" aortic valve. Report of a case.
The echocardiographic features of a patient with severe aortic regurgitation due to a "floppy" aortic valve are presented. The salient abnormality observed was marked fluttering of the aortic valve cusps in diastole. Fluttering of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and left ventricular enlargement were noted. The diagnosis of a "floppy" aortic valve was substantiated at surgery.
