Prominent Crista Terminalis in Patients with Embolic Events
A prominent crista terminalis is a normal anatomic variant which consist of thick muscular bridge within the right atrium. However, it could be often misdiagnosed with an abnormal mass on the transthoracic echocardiography. The case report presented here, describe the findings of transthoracic echocardiography that suggested a right atrial mass in patients with pulmonary embolism. However, subs...

Background and Objective: One of the complications that can cause significant death and disability in cancer patients is thromboembolic events. Since gastrointestinal cancers are among the most common cancers in the world and Iran, and there is little information about thromboembolic events associated with gastrointestinal cancers in Iran, this study was conducted to determine the frequency of ...
متن کاملMonophasic action potential duration at the crista terminalis in patients with sinus node disease.
BACKGROUND The repolarization properties of the crista terminalis (CT) cells have not been elucidated in patients with sinus node disease (SND). In the present study a new technique of recording the monophasic action potential (MAP) at the CT was used to examine the repolarization of the right atrium (RA) in SND patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Symptomatic SND (n=13) patients and age-, sex-match...
