Imaging the right heart: the use of integrated multimodality imaging.
During recent years, right ventricular (RV) structure and function have been found to be an important determinant of outcome in different cardiovascular and also pulmonary diseases. Currently, echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are the two imaging modalities most commonly used to visualize the RV. Most structural abnormalities of the RV can be reliably described by ec...
متن کاملLeft Ventricle Pseudoaneurysm: Contribution of Multimodality Imaging to the Diagnosis
The left ventricle pseudoaneurysm is an anomaly of the left ventricle and is severed and joined with a pocket look. There may be secondary to a myocardial infarction, trauma, or surgical procedure. Sometimes the cause is not found. Complications are heart failure, arrhythmias, vascular embolism, and sudden death. The treatment is surgical only. The authors report the case of a black patient of ...

متن کاملThe Right Ventricle: Unforgettable With Imaging.
T he right ventricle has been described as the “forgotten chamber,” and despite better awareness of its importance, current heart failure (HF) guidelines have taken little cognizance of the right ventricle. In part, this reflects the limitations of the evidence regarding the determinants of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and its relation to outcomes in HF. This special issue of iJACC seeks ...
متن کاملMultimodality imaging in the evaluation of aorta-right atrial tunnel.
Aorta—right atrial tunnel is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by an extracardiac tunnel-like vascular communication arising from an aortic sinus and emptying into the right atrium (RA) (Fig. 1). We report the case of a 33-year-old man diagnosed following Streptococcus viridans endocarditis. The patient underwent successful surgical repair (Fig. 2). The proximal ostiumwas closed using a p...
