Apical systolic click and murmur associated with neurofibromatosis.

Effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse

Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...

The syndrome of apical systolic click, late systolic murmur, and abnormal T waves.

The apexcardiogram in patients with systolic prolapse of the mitral valve.

Fifteen patients with the clinical and phonocardiographic finding of a nonejection click initiating a late systolic murmur had apexcardiograms (ACG) performed. In every case, the inward motion of the apex normally inscribed between aortic valve opening and closure was interrupted by either a notch or a second systolic wave, the onset of which occurred at the time of the click. This ACG finding ...

Clinical and Electrocardiographic comparison of patients with primary Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome and control group

ABSTRACT: Mitral Valve Prolapse (WVP) in one of the commonest cardiac abnormalities. Echocardiography has generally been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice, To assess the characteristic symptoms signs and electrocardiographic abnormalities of MVP results of prospective 500 age and sex matched healthy subjects without echocardiographic MVP (control subjects). The diagnostic criteria...

Recurrent Hodgkin's disease manifesting roentgenographically as a pleural mass.

the apex even without vasoactive maneuvers. On follow-up clinic visits two weeks and three months after discharge, the patient felt quite well, and auscultation of the heart revealed prominent late systolic click but no murmur. However, a late systolic murmur could again be precipitated by isometric exercise. DIscussIoN Until the past few years, a late systolic murmur at the apex, preceded by a...
