OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incidence of fetal dextrocardia, associated cardiac and extracardiac malformations, and outcome. DESIGN Retrospective echocardiographic study. SETTING Two tertiary centres for fetal cardiology. PATIENTS 81 consecutive fetuses with a fetal dextrocardia presenting at Guy's Hospital, London, between 1983 and 2003 and at Hôpital Robert Debré, Paris, between 1988 and ...

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of fetal dextrocardia, associated cardiac and extracardiac malformations, and outcome. Design: Retrospective echocardiographic study. Setting: Two tertiary centres for fetal cardiology.

Isolated lkvocardia, with the heart on the left but with the abdominal viscera inverted, is less well known than its counterpart, isolated dextrocardia, but is not very rare. In this paper we are reporting our findings in 20 patients, and Campbell (1963) has given reasons for thinking that its incidence may be about 1 in 22,000 of the general population. In any series of patients with cyanotic ...

Situs inversus with dextrocardia is the malposition most likely to occur with structurally normal heart; generally discovered on routine chest x-ray or physical examination performed for other reasons. These persons experience normal longevity of life and have similar risk of getting acquired disease as that of other person of same age and sex group. Symptoms related to acquired disorder may al...

A 53-year-old male patient with a previous diagnosis of situs inversus with mirror-image dextrocardia underwent thallium-201 (Tl-201) stress-redistribution myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Electrocardiogram (ECG) obtained on right hemithorax revealed constant complete left bundle branch block. Tl-201 stress-redistribution SPECT images revealed abnormal pe...

Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital malposition of heart and thoraco-abdominal viscera. Although it is a rare clinical phenomenon, the association with coronary artery disease (CAD) is at the same frequency as in the general population (1). Few cases of situs inversus and dextrocardia complicated with CAD were reported before. The coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary...

BACKGROUND Dextrocardia, or right-lying heart, is an uncommon congenital heart disease in which the apex of the heart is located on the right side of chest. Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVA) is a rare venous anomaly that is often associated with the abnormalities of cardiac transduction system. A case with combination of dextrocardia, persistent left superior vena cava, and sick sinus ...
