Diagnosis of a right coronary artery-left ventricular fistula by cross sectional and Doppler echocardiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of right coronary to left ventricular fistula was diagnosed by cross sectional and Doppler echocardiography. The origin and site of entry into the left ventricle of the enlarged right coronary artery were shown by cross sectional echocardiography. Diastolic flow was detected in the left ventricle by both pulsed and continuous Doppler echocardiography. The fistula was confirmed by cardiac catheterisation and was successfully closed at operation.

The Doppler echocardiographic features of coronary arteriovenous fistula were investigated in eight patients with left or right coronary arteriovenous fistulas who had a continuous heart murmur in the upper precordial area and whose diagnoses were confirmed by coronary angiography. In four patients the dilated lumen of the coronary arteriovenous fistula was visualised by cross sectional echocar...
متن کاملRight Coronary Artery to Left Ventricular Fistula Associated with Infective Endocarditis of the Mitral Valve
A 27-year-old man with bacterial endocarditis of the mitral valve and embolic episodes was bound to have a large right coronary artery fistula communicating with the left ventricle, immediately inferior to the posterior mitral annulus. The perforation of the posterior leaflet and coronary arteriovenous fistula was identified using two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography. The diagnosis was conf...

In this study, a method for non-invasive estimation of stress on the heart wall in the diastole phase is presented using ultrasound echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress on the heart wall as a pre-diagnosis to identify people with coronary artery stenosis. 29 patients with stenosis of more than 70%, 30 patients with stenosis of 50 to 7...
متن کاملRecognition of abnormal connections of coronary arteries with the use of Doppler color flow mapping.
Anomalous connection of a coronary artery to a ventricle or pulmonary artery causes shunting of blood from the coronary circuit and may produce myocardial ischemia. Such a coronary anomaly may occur in isolation or with other defects. Doppler color flow mapping and two-dimensional echocardiography were used to diagnose anomalous coronary connections in 13 patients, 1 day to 7 years of age, over...
