Subaortic (Type 6) Muscular Band—Innocent Bystander or Pathologic Structure?
نویسنده
چکیده
Intraventricular tendons are structures that was identified more than a hundred years ago. It has been suggested that they represent intracavitary radiations of the bundle of His and that they may be an isolated finding or be associated with structural cardiac abnormalities.Loukas et al divided these structures into five categories and recently a sixth type have been added.Various physiological disturbances have been observed due to the sixth type of tendon, such as ST segment elevation and right bundle branch block. It has been noted that this peculiar structure appears too thick to be called a tendon, thus the term band.This retrospective analysis analyzed the incidence of the thick, subaortic (type 6) muscular band in a cardiovascular clinic.

Increased Mitral-Aortic Separation
We recently speculated that mitral-aortic separation (MAS) might be increased in discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS). We have examined this hypothesis in 22 heart specimens in which the subaortic obstruction originated on the muscular ventricular septum below the right aortic sinus, either as a discrete band, an accumulation of several bands or a diffuse ridge, and extended posteriorly into the M...
متن کاملBlame Conformity: Innocent Bystanders Can Be Blamed for a Crime as a Result of Misinformation from a Young, but Not Elderly, Adult Co-Witness
This study examined whether or not exposing an eyewitness to a co-witness statement that incorrectly blames an innocent bystander for a crime can increase the likelihood of the eyewitness subsequently blaming the innocent bystander for the crime. It also examined whether or not the perceived age of the co-witness influences this effect. Participant eyewitnesses first watched a video of a crime ...
متن کاملThe Electrocardiogram in Muscular Subaortic Stenosis
FOLLOWING Brock's' recognition that hypertrophied muscle in the left ventricular outflow tract could obstruct left ventricular outflow, much interest has centered on the nature of this hypertrophy. Initial reports suggested that concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle was the underlying cause of the obstruction of the outflow tract. -3 Following Teare's4 description of asymmetrical hypertr...
متن کاملEffects of amyl nitrite in aortic valvular and muscular subaortic stenosis.
INHALATION of amyl nitrite causes abrupt vasodilatation and increase in cardiac output and intensifies the murmur of aortic stenosis.1 The transaortic systolic pressure gradient increases because of the increased ejection rate through the stenotic orifice. In muscular subaortic stenosis this effect is particularly marked,2-6 not only because of the increased ejection rate but also because the d...
متن کامل" Small Countries and Preferential Trade Agreements ' How severe is the innocent bystander
This paper examines the welfare implications of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) from the perspective of small countries in the context of a multi-country, general equilibrium model. We calibrate our model to represent one relatively small country and two symmetric big countries. We consider two cases. In one case, the small country is an “innocent bystander,” that is, it is left out of a P...
