Left-to-Right Shunts
Contrary to the opinion of French pediatrician HenriLouis that isolated ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are universally well tolerated, the subsequent discoveries of Eisenmenger, Abbott, Wood, and others have taught us that the prognosis of left-to-right shunt lesions is not always benign. After more than a century of research, as pediatric cardiologists and congenital heart surgeons, we clai...
متن کاملCongenital heart diseases with right-to-left shunts.
Tetralogy of Fallot comprises a constellation of cardiac findings that share the following common anatomic abnormalities (Fig. 1): a large malaligned ventricular septal defect (VSD), overriding of the aorta over the septal defect, right ventricular outflow obstruction, and right ventricular hypertrophy. The anatomic spectrum of TOF is diverse and includes other variants such as pulmonary stenos...
متن کاملThe Identification of Right-to-Left Shunts
SEVERAL METHODS are now used in conjunction with cardiac catheterization for localizing and quantitating right-to-left shunts. These include the recording of indicator-dye concentration curves after selective intracardiac dye injection,14 the external recording of radioactivity following injection of radioactive materials,5 6 and the use of cardioangiograms or cineangiograms to picture the cour...
متن کاملRight ventricular hypertrabeculation due to right heart failure after left ventricular assist device implantation.
DESCRIPTION Hypertrabeculation/non-compaction of ventricular myocardium (HVM/NVM) is a cardiomyopathy thought to be caused by arrest of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardium between the fetal 5th and 8th weeks, resulting in persistence of multiple prominent ventricular trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses. The myocardium of the left ventricle is most often affected...
متن کاملNitrendipine binding in congestive heart failure due to myocardial infarction.
Depressed cardiac pump function is the hallmark of congestive heart failure, and it is suspected that decreased influx of Ca2+ into the cardiac cell is responsible for depressed contractile function. Since Ca2+ channels in the sarcolemmal membrane are considered to be an important route for the entry of Ca2+, we examined the status of Ca2+ receptors/channels in failing rat hearts after myocardi...
