Nine patients with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve were studied by two-dimensional echocardiography, using the standard long and short axis views as well as the apex four chamber view. With this latter view, the displacement of the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle was clearly seen in all nine cases of Ebstein's anomaly and was not noted in a control population. The severity of ...

Fig. 1. The 12-lead electrocardiogram reveals high-grade atrioventricular block (Panel A membranous ventricular septal defect (Panel B, arrow), left-toright shunt was observed 103 mmHg (Panel D). Transthoracic echocardiography apical four-chamber view reveals a leaflet (Panel E, arrow) and a discrete subaortic membrane between baseline portion of the left ventricle, RA: right atrium, RV: right ...

a 47 year-old female died after mitral valve replacement. post-cardiopulmonary bypass right ventricle was not able to pump despite good left ventricular contractility. at microscopic examination, diffuse right ventricular fatty infiltration was found. we found no previous report of this pathology in patients with mitral stenosis
