The effect of right ventricular compression on cardiac function in pediatric pectus excavatum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods All CMR studies performed for clinical evaluation of pediatric pectus excavatum at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. CMR analysis included evaluation of Haller index, left ventricular (LV) and RV ejection fractions (EF), and indexed LV and RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes. The site of maximal compression of the right ventricle (no compression, atrioventricular (AV) groove, or free wall) was assessed. The relationships of age, BSA, Haller index, and ln(Haller) to LVEF, RVEF, and indexed RV end-diastolic volume were assessed using linear regression. The relationships of patient gender and RV compression site to LVEF, RVEF, and indexed RV end-diastolic volume were evaluated using ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey comparisons.

Right Ventricular Compression Observed in Echocardiography from Pectus Excavatum Deformity
Pectus excavatum exists as varying anatomic deformities and compression of the right heart by the chest wall can lead to patient symptoms including dyspnea and chest pain with exertion. Echocardiography can be difficult but is critical to the evaluation and diagnosis of this patient population. Modifying standard views such as biplane transthoracic and 3-D transesophageal views may be necessary...

Pectus Excavatum is a congenital developmental deformity of the anterior chest wall, characterized by the dorsal deviation of the caudal sternum and associated costal cartilages or a ventral to dorsal narrowing of the entire thorax in which several ribs and the sternum grow abnormally. It has been reported in dogs, kittens, lambs and calves. Burmese kittens and Brachycephalic dogs are more pred...

PURPOSE To assess cardiothoracic structure and function in patients with pectus excavatum compared with control subjects using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). METHOD Thirty patients with pectus excavatum deformity (23 men, 7 women, age range: 14-67 years) underwent CMR using 1.5-Tesla scanner (Siemens) and were compared to 25 healthy controls (18 men, 7 women, age range 18-50...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Compression Mimicking Brugada-Like Electrocardiogram in a Patient with Recurrent Pectus Excavatum
Pectus excavatum (PE), the most common skeletal anomaly of chest wall, sometimes requires a surgical correction but recurrent PE is not uncommon. PE usually has a benign course; however, this chest deformity may be associated with symptomatic tachyarrhythmias due to mechanical compression. We report a case of a patient with recurrent PE after surgical correction presenting with palpitation and ...
