  • Differential Diagnosis of Pulmonic Stenosis by Means of Intracardiac Phonocardiography
    Differential Diagnosis of Pulmonic Stenosis by Means of Intracardiac Phonocardiography Tadashi KAMBE, M.D., Tadayuki KATO, M.D., Norio HIBI, M.D., Yoichi FUKUI, M.D., Takemi ARAKAWA, M.D., Kinya NISHIMURA,M.D., Hiroshi TATEMATSU,M.D., Arata MIWA, M.D., Hisao TADA, M.D., and Nobuo SAKAMOTO,M.D. SUMMARY The purpose of the present paper is to describe the origin of the systolic murmur in pulmonic stenosis and to discuss the diagnostic pos- sibilities of intracardiac phonocardiography. Right heart catheterization was carried out with the aid of a double- lumen A.E.L. phonocatheter on 48 pulmonic stenosis patients with or without associated heart lesions. The diagnosis was confirmed by heart catheterization and angiocardiography in all cases and in 38 of them, by surgical intervention. Simultaneous phonocardiograms were recorded with intracardiac pressure tracings. In valvular pulmonic stenosis, the maximum ejection systolic murmur was localized in the pulmonary artery above the pulmonic valve and well transmitted to both right and left pulmonary arteries, the superior vena cava, and right and left atria. The maximal intensity of the ejection systolic murmur in infundibular stenosis was found in the outflow tract of right ventricle. The contractility of the infundibulum greatly contributes to the formation of the ejection systolic murmur in the outflow tract of right ventricle. In tetralogy of Fallot, the major systolic murmur is caused by the pulmonic stenosis, whereas the high ventricular septal defect is not responsible for it. In pulmonary branch stenosis, the sys- tolic murmur was recorded distally to the site of stenosis. Intracardiac phonocardiography has proved useful for the dif- ferential diagnosis of various types of pulmonic stenosis.

  • Tetralogy of Fallot: Stroke in a Young Patient
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.2714 Tetralogy of Fallot: Stroke in a Young Patient Hassam Ali 1 , Shiza Sarfraz 2 , Muhammad Sanan 1 1. Medical 4, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Quaid-E-Azam Medical College, Bahawalpur, PAK 2. Department of Anesthesiology, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Quaid-E-Azam Medical College, Bahawalpur, PAK Corresponding author: Hassam Ali, [email protected] Abstract Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital birth defect of the heart which actually comprises four individual flaws. It causes poor flow of oxygenated blood to the organs and leads to cyanosis (blue-tinted skin, because of inadequate oxygenation). It can be recognized at birth or in adulthood. But sometimes, cases may go unnoticed, and the patient might present with some rare complications. In this case, the patient presented with an embolic infarct of the brain at the age of 25 with an undiagnosed tetralogy of Fallot. Categories: Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Neurology Keywords: congenital heart defects, embolic stroke, tetralogy of fallot, paralysis, cardiology, cerebrovascular accident, heart, neurology, international medicine Introduction Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a heart disease present at birth [1]. It consists of four defects [2]: - Pulmonary stenosis - Ventricular septal defect - Right ventricular hypertrophy - Aorta overriding the ventricular septal defect Some babies, when they cry or breastfeed, may turn very blue. This is because of "a tet spell" due to the shunting of excess deoxygenated blood from the right chamber of the heart to the left chamber. Such babies may have difficulty breathing, become limp, or even lose consciousness [3]. TOF is treated by open-heart surgery, mostly in the first year of life.

  • Trilogy of Fallot in a Dog
    J Vet Clin 29(5) : 404-407 (2012) Trilogy of Fallot in a Dog Ran Choi, Hyo-Jin Ahn and Changbaig Hyun1 Section of Small Animal Internal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 201-100, Korea (Accepted: October 05, 2012) Abstract : A 3 years-old female mixed dog (weighing 5.3 kg) was referred to veterinary teaching hospital of Kangwon National University with primary complaints of syncope, severe exercise intolerance, depression and lethargy. Diagnostic studies revealed polycythemia, right sided cardiac enlargement on thoracic radiography and right-to left atrial septal defect, severe pulmonary stenosis (~5 m/s of peak velocity) and right ventricular hypertrophy. Based on diagnostic findings, the dog was diagnosed as trilogy of Fallot. To improve clinical condition of this dog, diltiazem and enalapril were prescribed with weekly phlebotomy. To author’s best knowledge, this is the first case of trilogy of Fallot in Korea. Key words : trilogy of Fallot, atrial septal defects, pulmonic stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, CHD. Introduction ring veterinarian, the dog had history of cardiac murmur after birth and occasional syncopal episodes (increasing frequency Trilogy of Fallot is a compound congenital heart defects recently). On the physical examination, the dog had grade 2/6 (CHD) comprised of pulmonary stenosis, atrial septal dys- mild systolic murmur at right apex and left base of heart. The morphogenesis (e.g. atrial septal defect and patent foramen systolic blood pressure measured by Doppler method was ovale) and right ventricular hypertrophy (1). The CHD are 100-110 mmHg. broadly classified into cyanotic CHD and non-cyanotic CHD.

  • The Clinical Evolution of Shunt-Operations for Morbus Caeruleus: Results of 150 Operations, in a Long-Term Follow-Up
    The Clinical Evolution of Shunt-Operations for Morbus Caeruleus: Results of 150 Operations, in a Long-Term Follow-Up C. A. Mahuim, M.D., C.L.C. van Nieuwenhuizen, M.D., H.A.H. D’heer, M.D., and F. Sloojj, M.D., Utrecht, Netherlands INTRODUCTION The classical operations of Blalock,4 Potts,25 and Brocks which have been used for more than 10 years in treating the tetralogy of Fallot are purely symp- tomatic. Their aim is to augment the pulmonary circulation in order to increase the oxygenation of the blood. However, they do not, properly speaking, correct the malformation. In fact, with the procedures of Blalock and Potts a fifth malformation is created in a heart that already has four. It is well known that an operation which creates an artificial ductus arteriosus must, in the long run, produce a significant overloading of the heart. In any event, the immediate benefits of the operation, in so far as the general status of the patients and the amelioration of the cyanosis are concerned, are so evident that the undeniable usefulness of this type of operation is universally recognized.

It consists of a ventricular septal defect, pulmonic stenosis, displacement of the aortic root, and hypertrophy of the right ventricle. At the Department of Internal Medicine Clinic of Diseases of Horses, Dogs, and Cats at the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, patients with Fallot syndrome constituted 4.44% of all patients with congenital heart diseases. There was no breed predisposition found. The most common clinical signs were exercise intolerance, dyspnea, and cyanosis of the mucous membranes, but it can also be asymptomatic. Echocardiography is considered to be the best method for diagnosing this congenital heart disease. Contrast angiocardiography can be used to confirm the diagnosis or as a complement to diagnosis. Surgery is the only effective method of treatment; however, for animals, we only provide palliative treatment.

Abstract Background: Despite dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) technology has been performed well on adults or infants with heart disease, specific knowledge about children with congenital pulmonary valve stenosis (PS) remained to be established. Objectives: This original research aimed to establish a professional approach of DSCT performing technology on children and to assess the image quality performed by DSCT to establish a diagnostic evaluation for children with PS. Patients and Methods: Ninety-eight children with congenital PS referred to affiliated hospital of Jining medical college were re- cruited from October 2013 to March 2015. Participants were divided into four groups according to different ages (0 - 1, 1 - 3, 3 - 7, 7 - 14), or three groups according to different heart rates (< 90, 90 - 110, > 110). Image quality of pulmonary valves was assessed based on a four-point grading scale (1 - 4 points). Those cases achieving a score of ≥ 3 points were selected for further investigation, which played a critical role in our analysis.
