The "goose necku deformity as seen in left ventriculogrruas in the endocardial cushion defect persists after surgical treatment in whkh the subaodc deficiency of the venMcular septum is built up with prosthetic material and the natural mitral valve is replaced by a prosthesis. Anatomic studies indicate that the diaphragmatic (inflow) aspect of the left ventricle and the venMcuhu septum are shor...

The Bernheim syndrome has been a topic of discussion for over a century. It has been reported to be caused by severe rightward movement of the ventricular septum resulting in compression of the right ventricular cavity leading to right-sided heart failure without pulmonary congestion. Hemodynamic findings have been described in a few patients with the so-called Bernheim syndrome. We describe a ...

conclusions the vibratory innocent murmur is associated with the presence of left ventricular false tendon and higher left ventricular outflow tract velocity. the presence of the left ventricular false tendon was somewhat associated with decreased early diastolic myocardial velocity. normal left ventricular systolic and diastolic function can be used as a reassurance in cases with the vibratory...

Echocardiographic measurements of the left ventricular dimensions and wall thicknesses at end diastole and end systole, aortic root and left atrial dimensions, mitral valve E-F slope, left ventricular ejection fraction, percent fractional shortening of the left ventricular internal dimension, estimated left ventricular mass and percentage systolic thickening of the ventricular septum and left v...

We describe a technique for repairing the ventricular septal perforation 10 days post acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction using the modi®ed infarction exclusion method. The repair involves endoventricular circular patch plasty and application of gelatin±resorcinol± formaldehyde biological glue in the space between a Te ̄on felt patch on the infarcted septum and a bovine pericardial patch in...

AIMS Our aim was to clarify the location and structure of the outlet septum relative to the free-standing subpulmonary infundibulum in the setting of tetralogy of Fallot and to examine its relationship to the other components of the subpulmonary outflow tract, determining their potential influence on clinical outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied prospectively 41 patients with tetralogy of ...

Abstract Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries is a unique condition in which atrio-ventricular discrepancy e ventricular-arteriosus are mutually balanced, so that there the normal oxygenation and distribution blood to tissues, but morphologically right ventricle tricuspid valve have deal with systemic pressures, developing severe ventricular disfunction regurgitation along yea...

OBJECTIVE Determine if ventricular septum structure and function relationships parallel the left ventricular free wall descending and ascending segments of the helical heart. METHODS Forty pigs (30-38 kg) were studied physiologically by sonomicrometer to determine if septal fiber orientation resembled responses in the free wall. Following pilot studies in the non-bypassed heart, a right ventr...
