Echocardiographic Demonstration of Abnormal Motion of the Interventricular Septum
نویسنده
چکیده
A characteristic abnormality of motion of the interventricular septum was recorded by echocardiography in 17 of 18 patients with left bundle branch block. Early and abrupt contraction of the septum occurs during the pre-ejection period before the delayed commencement of contraction of the posterior wall of the left ventricle. This abnormality can be explained by asynchronous contraction of the left ventricle with early activation and contraction of the septum but delay in activation and contraction of the left ventricular free wall due to a block in the left bundle branch or its peripheral branches.

Abnormal diastolic motion of interventricular septum during inspiratory phase. Echocardiographic study.
We report on a patient without heart disease who had pulsus paradoxus, associated with echocardiographic evidence of abnormal and exaggerated diastolic motion of interventricular septum. Both phenomena appeared at the peak of the inspiratory phase of respiration, and seemed to be produced from the same haemodynamic variations, of which the echocardiographic pattern appears to be a more sensitiv...

This case report describes the distinctive echocardiographic pattern in a patient with a congenital right sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The eChocardiogram demonstrated an abnormal structure extending from the aortic root into the left ventricular chamber adjacent to the interventricular septum. The structure showed diastolic motion away from the septum and systolic motion toward the septum. This ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Left Ventricular Myocardium Wall Instantaneous Motions with Echocardiographic Sequence Images
Background & Aims: One of the important aims of quantitative cardiac image processing is the clarification of myocardial motions in order to derive biomechanical behavior of the heart in the disease condition. In this study we presented a computerized analysis method for detecting the instantaneous myocardial changes by using 2D echocardiography images. Methods: The analysis was performed on th...
متن کاملComparison of interventricular septal motion studied by ventriculography and echocardiography in patients with atrial septal defect.
Abnormal systolic interventricular septal motion is an echocardiographic manifestation of right ventricular volume overload. In order to determine the anatomical basis for this echocardiographic finding, septal motion recorded by left lateral or left anterior oblique ventriculograms was compared with echocardiography ventricular septal motion. Thirteen patients with secundum atrial septal defec...
