Contusio Cordis Associated with Atrioventricular Block and Tricuspid Regurgitation
The expression “contusio cordis” defines a lesion of the cardiac myocyte, hemorrhagic or fibrotic, due to the application of violent kinetic force resulting from a blunt trauma to the precordial region1. Syncope is almost always the first clinical manifestation observed, and commonly precedes death. Contusio cordis differs from commotio cordis, the latter representing a cardiac electromechanica...
متن کاملFunctional Tricuspid Regurgitation Caused by Chronic Atrial Fibrillation
Increased mortality among patients with moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), regardless of pulmonary hypertension and left ventricular systolic function, has raised interest in the various underlying causes of TR. Causes of TR may be classified into 2 major categories: primary and secondary. Primary TR is caused by an anatomic abnormality of the tricuspid valve (TV) itself, whereas ...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation induced by commotio cordis secondary to a blunt chest trauma in a teenage boy.
Low-energy blunt chest trauma can cause commotio cordis and ventricular fibrillation (VF) in otherwise healthy young individuals. If the chest wall impact occurs during a narrow vulnerable window of ventricular repolarization, the generated premature ventricular impulse can lead to VF and sudden death. Atrial fibrillation (AF) in association with a blunt chest trauma has not yet been reported i...
متن کاملMild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation secondary to pericardial constriction.
A 26 years female presented with pericardial effusion. On follow up she developed pericardial constriction with new appearance of mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation without any other pathology. Fibrosis along posterior atrioventricular groove could be responsible for regurgitation.
متن کاملSecondary tricuspid valve regurgitation: a forgotten entity
To cite: Tornos Mas P, Rodríguez-Palomares JF, Antunes MJ. Heart 2015;101:1840–1848. INTRODUCTION The tricuspid valve was virtually ignored for a long time in the past. However, the incidence of tricuspid insufficiency associated with left valvular disease is quite significant, ranging from 8% to 35% of cases. 2 This is most common in conjunction with mitral valve disease but association with a...
