نویسندگان
چکیده
The echocardiogram (June 5, 2001) revealed the following: diameters of the aorta and left atrium, 32 mm, and of the left ventricle (diastolic/systolic), 65/52 mm; ejection fraction (Simpson), 40%; septal and posterior wall thickness, 10 mm; right ventricle, 23 mm. In addition, there were indirect signs of pulmonary hypertension, estimated as 40 mmHg. The left ventricle showed diffuse hypokinesia, and there was marked calcification of the mitral valve leaflets.

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac diseases [1]. ASD accounts for 7-10% of all congenital heart diseases in children and 30-33% in adults. Although ASD usually asymptomatic, it can lead to exercise intolerance, atrial arrhythmia, right ventricular dysfunction, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Guidelines recommend closure of ASD if right ventricular enlar...
متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...

Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...

BACKGROUND Klinefelter syndrome is the most common genetic cause of male infertility and affects approximately 1 in 500 live births. Although accompanying cardiac disorder is not a specific feature of Klinefelter syndrome, rarely associated anomalies such as mitral valve prolapse, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus, and hypertrophic ob...
متن کاملBoxer dog cardiomyopathy: an update.
Boxer dog cardiomyopathy is an inheritable form of myocardial disease characterized most commonly by ventricular tachycardias, syncope, and, sometimes, systolic dysfunction and heart failure. Careful evaluation of boxer dog cardiomyopathy by several investigators has demonstrated that the disease may be best classified as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Affected dogs have a var...
