Case report and literature review: fetal diagnosis of vascular ring with circumflex right aortic arch and unique aortic arch branching pattern

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Circumflex right aortic arch is a rare aortic arch anomaly where the arch extends in a retro-esophageal pattern with a left-sided descending thoracic aorta. A 33-year-old G4P3 patient underwent fetal echocardiography after obstetric ultrasound showed concern for double aortic arch.

Young man with chest pain and an abnormal echocardiogram

Heart BMJ

A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed ( figure 1 ). Figure 1 Transthoracic echocardiogram ((A) apical four-chamber view; (B) parasternal short-axis view). Aortic dissection Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm Anomalous coronary artery Unroofed. Myocardial scintigraphic perfusion images at stress and rest were normal.

Echocardiogram in Rheumatic Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

You can see the reverse flow into the left ventricle from the aorta, with the aortic valve in closed position. Beacuse, as the aortic valve is closed, and the regurgitant jet is coming in, and left ventricular diastolic pressures are lower than the aortic pressures. You cannot say its highly quantitative estimation.

Acute chest pain and ST Elevation. CT done to look for aortic dissection.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Due to the chest pain radiating into the patient's back, the ER physician ordered CTA chest to rule out aortic dissection. This would have been fairly easy and much more expedient to diagnose with bedside echocardiogram. But seeing them all together is more suggestive that pericarditis could be possible.

Study: Robotic Arm Can be Used for Remote Echocardiograms

DAIC

Echocardiograms using the robotic arm resulted in the same diagnosis as conventional in-person echocardiography in 98% of cases (papillary muscle level obstruction was missed in one case). tim.hodson Thu, 08/29/2024 - 11:39 Aug. 28, 2024 — New research presented at this year’s ESC Congress 2024 in London, UK (Aug. 30 – Sept.

M-Mode Echocardiogram in Left Ventricular Dysfunction

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: This is a still image from a colour Doppler echocardiogram, obtained from the apical five chamber view. This is reverse flow from the aortic valve, that is aortic regurgitation jet. These are the features, you have AR jet, and MR jet, in a still image of colour Doppler echocardiogram.

Cardiologists Train Large AI Model to Assess Heart Structure, Function

DAIC

Cedars-Sinai and Smidt Heart Institute investigators developed a novel foundation model that integrates computer vision interpretation of echocardiogram images with natural language processing to augment cardiologists’ interpretation of echocardiograms. Image by Getty.
