The Left Parasternal Impulse.
A lift or heave which is palpable at the left sternal edge is an accepted clinical sign of right ventricular hypertrophy. The parasternal impulse has been recorded in normal subjects and in patients with heart disease, and the results are described in this paper. A detailed description of the instrument used to make the recordings has already been published (Beilin and Mounsey, 1962). This inst...
متن کاملThe value of left parasternal impulse recordings in the assessment of mitral regurgitation.
Left parasternal cardiograms were recorded at the fifth intercostal space in 30 patients with mitral regurgitation. Early systolic outward movements (E), late systolic outward movements (LOM), and the ratio of the LOM area to the total area occupied by the left parasternal cardiogram (LPC area) were examined. Thirteen patients had pure mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendineae (ten...
متن کاملThe parasternal defect.
The parasternal defect, or Morgagni hernia, may not be as rare as previous authors have stated. Brown (1952) gives its incidence as 3 % of diaphragmatic defects, and Harrington (1951) in a review of 334 cases of diaphragmatic hernia found it in 14 only. In the mass radiography units at Portsmouth and Southampton 30 cases have been picked up and a further three cases have been found in patients ...

متن کاملParasternal intercostal and diaphragm function during sleep.
Action of the uppermost medial internal intercostal muscles-the parasternals-during rapid eye movement (REM) is uncertain; no direct recordings exist of shortening of these muscles during sleep. Historically, motor inhibition of skeletal muscles during REM sleep is thought to cause global loss of chest wall muscle function, REM "atonia," with preservation of only diaphragm function. However, re...
