Echocardiographic Features of Giant Right Atrial Diverticulum in a Dog.

ABSTRACT: A 12-year-old spayed female miniature Poodle presented for coughing, respiratory distress, and anorexia. After thoracentesis for pleural effusion, radiography revealed an enlarged cardiac silhouette with a bulge in the area of the body of the right atrium. Echocardiography revealed an anechoic chamber-like cavity lateral to the right atrium that communicated with the right atrium through a 13 mm defect in the right atrial free wall. Contrast echocardiography and color flow Doppler were used to prove that the cavity communicated with the right atrium. The cavity was diagnosed as a giant right atrial diverticulum.

Two in One: Echocardiographic Features of Right-Ventricular Diverticulum and Left-Ventricular Aneurysm in the Same Patient.

Project description:Ventricular diverticulum is a rare congenital heart defect that is usually found incidentally upon imaging, such as 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram. We report a case in which an isolated right-ventricular diverticulum and a left-ventricular aneurysm were both found on transthoracic echocardiogram in the setting of a pulmonary embolism. This case highlights how to distinguish between an aneurysm and a diverticulum based on wall motion on echocardiogram, as well as potential complications that may arise from either anomaly.

Right Atrial Thrombus in Transient in a COVID-19 Patient: Clinical Echocardiographic Features-Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:A 54-year-old male is admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia and received prophylactic anticoagulation. On day 8, the patient rapidly deteriorated requiring urgent endotracheal intubation. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed large right atrial thrombus in transient, resulting in pulmonary embolism and severe RV failure; fibrinolytic therapy was not effective and the patient passed away.

Surgical management of a giant right atrial myxoma.

Project description:Cardiac tumours represent around 0.2% of tumours overall, and primary cardiac tumours are even more uncommon. We report the case of a 72-year-old female with a 7 cm × 4 cm right atrial mass which was prolapsing through the tricuspid valve. The mass was resected and histological analysis confirmed a myxoma. This report describes a rare finding of a giant right atrial mxyoma and subsequent surgical management.

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia in a Giant Right Atrium.

Project description:A 25-year-old male patient with a giant right atrium presented with atrial tachycardia. Electroanatomic mapping revealed micro-re-entry from a low-voltage zone in the region of the right atrial appendage. Linear ablations across the low-voltage zone terminated the tachycardia. The remaining right atrial tissue was electrically normal. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

A giant left atrial myxoma neovascularized from the right coronary artery.

Project description:Myxomas are benign and the most common tumors of the cardiac muscle (Reynen, 1995). They are predominantly located in the left atrium. Clinical manifestations may vary according to the localization and the size of the myxoma. On the other hand, imaging of a myxoma by contrast dye during coronary angiography is a rare sign, which displays the vascular supply of the tumor. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old man presenting with presyncope and palpitations due to a giant left atrial myxoma having its vascular supply from the right coronary artery (RCA).

Echocardiographic assessment of estimated right atrial pressure and size predicts mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Project description:Elevated mean right atrial pressure (RAP) measured by cardiac catheterization is an independent risk factor for mortality. Prior studies have demonstrated a modest correlation with invasive and noninvasive echocardiographic RAP, but the prognostic impact of estimated right atrial pressure (eRAP) has not been previously evaluated in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).A retrospective analysis of 121 consecutive patients with PAH based on right-sided heart catheterization and echocardiography was performed. The eRAP was calculated by inferior vena cava diameter and collapse using 2005 and 2010 American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) definitions. Accuracy and correlation of eRAP to RAP was assessed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis by eRAP, right atrial area, and Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-term PAH Disease Management (REVEAL Registry) risk criteria as well as univariate and multivariate analysis of echocardiographic findings was performed.Elevation of eRAP was associated with decreased survival time compared with lower eRAP (P < .001, relative risk = 7.94 for eRAP > 15 mm Hg vs eRAP ≤ 5 mm Hg). Univariate analysis of echocardiographic parameters including eRAP > 15 mm Hg, right atrial area > 18 cm², presence of pericardial effusion, right ventricular fractional area change < 35%, and at least moderate tricuspid regurgitation was predictive of poor survival. However, multivariate analysis revealed that eRAP > 15 mm Hg was the only echocardiographic risk factor that was predictive of mortality (hazard ratio = 2.28, P = .037).Elevation of eRAP by echocardiography at baseline assessment was strongly associated with increased risk of death or transplant in patients with PAH. This measurement may represent an important prognostic component in the comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation of PAH.

Giant right atrial thrombus associated with ICD lead externalized conductors: a case report.

Project description:Introduction:Narrow calibre ICD leads are prone to present insulation defects and conductor externalization. Close follow-up of these leads is recommended but as long as their electrical function is maintained, no prophyllactic replacement or extraction is advised. Although the risk of thrombus formation involving externalized conductors has been described, this risk seems considered as negligible compared with the risk of a prophylactic lead extraction. However, when an intracavitar thrombus is identified, the safest therapeutic approach remains undetermined. Case presentation:In the present clinical vignette, we describe the case of a giant thrombus developed along the externalized portion of an electrically functional ICD lead. In this case, the thrombus was successfully treated with a systemic oral anticoagulation. Discussion:This case report supports the concept of a prolonged anticoagulation for both the diagnosis and the long-term treatment of thrombus developed along externalized ICD leads, in particular when the patient prefers to avoid or postpone the risk of a trans-venous lead extraction.

Echocardiographic Hypertrabeculated/Non-compacted Right Ventricle Accompanied by Atrial Septal Defect and Anomalous Pulmonary Vein Connection.

Project description:Myocardial noncompaction (NC) is a disorder of the embryonic endomyocardial morphogenesis frequently associated with congenital cardiac abnormalities. NC predominantly affects the left ventricle (LV). Right ventricle (RV) NC may occur in association with LV involvement or in isolation. A 47-year-old woman was admitted for atrial septal defect closure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed hypertrabeculation of the RV apex, consisting of multiple deep recesses with the entrance of blood flow in color Doppler imaging, suggestive of isolated RV hypertrabeculation/NC. The RV and right atrium (RA) were enlarged, and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure was slightly increased. Our patient's associated abnormalities were atrial septal defect (superior sinus venosus type), anomalous connection of the right upper pulmonary vein to the junction of the superior vena cava and the RA, and large patent foramen ovale. Association between atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection and isolated hypertrabeculated/noncompacted RV should be considered by cardiologists.

A right atrial myxoma presenting with misleading features of acalculous cholecystitis.

Project description:Diffuse thickening, a layered appearance of the gallbladder wall and the accumulation of surrounding fluid are considered as sensitive and relatively specific imaging findings of gallbladder inflammation. In the absence of gallstones, the diagnosis of acalculous cholecystitis can be further supported by the presence of fever, epigastric pain, right upper abdominal quadrant (RUQ) tenderness on inspiration and elevated markers of inflammation. In this report, we describe a 35-year-old schoolteacher who presented with all of the above clinical, laboratory and imaging findings that were eventually attributed to gallbladder oedema and liver congestion (abdominal imaging and RUQ tenderness) caused by an atrial myxoma interfering, with the atrioventricular circulation of the right heart and causing constitutional manifestations (fever and elevated markers of inflammation).
