In the diagnosis of ruptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve, two-dimensional echocardiography was an essential diagnostic procedure, while M-mode echocardiography showed no specific findings. Ruptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve were confirmed at operation.

The M-mode echocardiogram of the tricuspid valve was abnormal in all but one patient in whom abnormal echoes were seen anterior to the tricuspid valve, in the right ventricular cavity and right ventricular outflow tract.

Isolated tricuspid insufficiency.

Isolated tricuspid insufficiency can be a well-tolerated lesion, as illustrated by a 32year follow-up in one patient reported here. A second case of recent onset is also described. The 13 reported cases of isolated tricuspid insufficiency due to trauma can be divided into two groups: ruptured papillary muscle or ruptured chordae tendineae and/or valve. All patients with ruptured papillary muscl...

Two-dimensional echocardiographic recognition of ruptured chordae tendineae.

Real-time, phased-array, two-dimensional echocardiographic studies identified ruptured chordae tendineae in five patients: four patients had a flail mitral valve and one had flail mitral and tricuspid valves. The characteristic abnormality was a rapid systolic motion of the involved leaflet beyond the line of valve closure into the atrium. The maximal abnormal systolic motion was greatest at th...

Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Mitral Regurgitation due to Ruptured

The echocardiographic findings from six patients with ruptured chordae tendineae from the posterial mitral valve leaflet and three with ruptured chordae from the anterior leaflet are reported; in all cases the diagnosis was later proven by openheart surgery. The constellation of echocardiographic findings suggesting iruptured chordae tendineae to the posterior leaflet are: (1) The appearance of...
