Three-dimensional echocardiographic assessment of Chiari's network relationship with the left ventricular false tendon.

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular false tendon (LVFT) is a fibromuscular band crossing the left ventricular cavity. And Chiari's network (CN) is a highly mobile, mesh-like, echogenic structure in right atrium. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the coexistence of LVFT in patients with CN. CN patients were examined with live/real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for visualization of LVFT.ResultsThis is a single-center prospective study of 49 patients with CN. In literature studies, the average ratios of LVFT were 22% in the normal population. In our study, an increased ratio of LVFT (n = 31, 63.3%) was found in CN patients evaluated with a three-dimensional TTE (63.3% versus 22%) (p = 0.01). The interatrial septal aneurysm was found in 31 (63.3%) patients with CN. And, the positive contrast echocardiography examination was determined in 22 (61.1%) patients with CN.ConclusionsOur study reveals that CN is associated with LVFT and is also associated with cardiac anomalies like an interatrial septal aneurysm, and atrial septal defect. And LVFT can be evaluated better with three-dimensional TTE than with traditional two-dimensional TTE. Patients with CN should be evaluated more carefully by three-dimensional echocardiography as they can be in synergy in terms of the cardiac pathologies they accompany.

Mechanism of ventricular premature beats elicited by left stellate ganglion stimulation during acute ischaemia of the anterior left ventricle.

Project description:AimsEnhanced sympathetic activity during acute ischaemia is arrhythmogenic, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. During ischaemia, a diastolic current flows from the ischaemic to the non-ischaemic myocardium. This 'injury' current can cause ventricular premature beats (VPBs) originating in the non-ischaemic myocardium, especially during a deeply negative T wave in the ischaemic zone. We reasoned that shortening of repolarization in myocardium adjacent to ischaemic myocardium increases the 'injury' current and causes earlier deeply negative T waves in the ischaemic zone, and re-excitation of the normal myocardium. We tested this hypothesis by activation and repolarization mapping during stimulation of the left stellate ganglion (LSG) during left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion.Methods and resultsIn nine pigs, five subsequent episodes of acute ischaemia, separated by 20 min of reperfusion, were produced by occlusion of the LAD and 121 epicardial local unipolar electrograms were recorded. During the third occlusion, left stellate ganglion stimulation (LSGS) was initiated after 3 min for a 30-s period, causing a shortening of repolarization in the normal myocardium by about 100 ms. This resulted in more negative T waves in the ischaemic zone and more VPBs than during the second, control, occlusion. Following the decentralization of the LSG (including removal of the right stellate ganglion and bilateral cervical vagotomy), fewer VPBs occurred during ischaemia without LSGS. During LSGS, the number of VPBs was similar to that recorded before decentralization.ConclusionLSGS, by virtue of shortening of repolarization in the non-ischaemic myocardium by about 100 ms, causes deeply negative T waves in the ischaemic tissue and VPBs originating from the normal tissue adjacent to the ischaemic border.

Right Ventricular Angiosarcoma Compressing the Left Ventricle.

Project description:Highlights•Echocardiography is usually the first imaging modality ordered for evaluation of a cardiac mass.•Although echocardiography cannot define the histopathology of a mass, it can identify the presence, location, and tissue characteristics of the mass, which can thus narrow the differential diagnosis.•Echocardiography is useful in evaluating tumor sequelae such as blood flow obstruction, valvular regurgitation, and myocardial dysfunction.

Idiopathic 'True' Left Ventricular Aneurysm.

Project description:We report the case of a 67-year-old patient who presented with anginal symptoms to the hospital. Computed tomographic angiography, to rule out a pulmonary embolism, showed a left ventricular apical outpouching. The patient underwent further imaging modalities, including contrast echocardiography (TTE) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), which were suggestive of a true left ventricular aneurysm (LVA). The absence of obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary angiography, absence of late enhancement on the CMR, and ultimately the intraoperative findings during surgical resection of the aneurysm, were strong indicators of a non-ischemic etiology of the patient's LVA. Additionally, the patient denied any previous history of cardiac instrumentation to rule out iatrogenic causes of LVA and congenital causes were excluded by a previous echocardiogram. Finally, history and presenting electrocardiogram did not reveal any other underlying obvious causes for the LVA. Excluding all common causes for the LVA an idiopathic cause seemed most likely.

Thebesian Veins Draining to the Left Ventricle, Mimicking Left Ventricular Noncompaction.

Project description:Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) was diagnosed in a 59-year-old woman, based on echocardiography. Later, diagnostic criteria were also found positive by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). However, coronary angiography revealed thebesian veins were causing the noncompacted appearance. The complementary role of CMR and echocardiography criteria, including flow assessment in the recesses, is discussed. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Accessory Left Ventricle: A Mistaken Case of Ventricular Septal Defect!

Project description:Physical examination is becoming a lost art. We describe a case of a patient who was referred to us with an initial diagnosis of ventricular septal defect. Discordance between imaging findings and the physical examination led to a diagnosis of an accessory left ventricle, a rare but benign congenital cardiac condition. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Electrocardiographic characteristics of ventricular arrhythmia originating from the left coronary cusp.

Project description:Aortic cusps originating arrhythmias are rare; they have special electrocardiogram features that help to locate the site of origin. We report on a 20-year-old male patient without structural heart disease presenting with accelerated idioventricular rhythm; electrocardiogram analysis was typical of left coronary cusp origin.

Unguarded left atrioventricular orifice: An unusual cause of hypoplastic left ventricle and double-outlet right ventricle with intact ventricular septum.

Project description:An unguarded atrioventricular orifice is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence of the atrioventricular valve in varying proportions. While atresia of the mitral or aortic valves are usually described as causes for hypoplastic left heart, our case highlights the role of free atrioventricular valve regurgitation and consequent volume loss of the left heart, giving rise to a small left ventricle. There was an associated double-outlet right ventricle and Type B aortic interruption. While we have attempted to discuss the complex management options in this scenario, the parents decided to withdraw further care.
