Tetralogy of Fallot TOF with pulmonary atresia Pulmonary atresia with intact interventricular septum Tricuspid atresia Double outlet right ventricle Transposition of great arteries with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis Ebstein’s anomaly of tricuspid valve In DORV and tricuspid atresia, there are also variants with increased pulmonary (..)

ECG in LMCA Stenosis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Such a pattern is consistent with significant left main coronary artery stenosis. Clinical evaluation and X-Ray chest showed features of pulmonary edema. Angiography done after initial stabilization showed severe stenosis of distal left main coronary artery. ST segment elevation is noted in aVR.

Surgical Treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot and Sequelae

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

One is ventricular septal defect, second is overriding aorta, third is pulmonary stenosis, usually right ventricular outflow tract stenosis and associated right ventricular hypertrophy. Pulmonary stenosis, which is usually right ventricular outflow tract stenosis. As the name implies, there are four defects.

What is SCAPE in Cardiovascular Medicine?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

SCAPE is an acronym for sympathetic crash acute pulmonary edema, which can typcially occur in Pickering syndrome with renal artery stenosis [1]. Another term for transient acute pulmonary edema which occurs in renal artery stenosis is flash pulmonary edema. Sympathetic crashing acute pulmonary edem a.

Arterial Switch Operation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

That is, right ventricle is connecting to aorta, and left ventricle to pulmonary artery. That is, pulmonary artery is transposed over to the right ventricle, and aorta over to the left ventricle, so that normal anatomy is restored. In dextro transposition of great arteries or D-TGA, there is ventriculoarterial discordance.

Biatrial Enlargement on Chest X-Ray PA View

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Normally, the main pulmonary artery segment will be concave and left atrial appendage region also will be not prominent. So that is why we see straightening of left border, typically heard of in mitral stenosis with left atrial enlargement and mild pulmonary hypertension. Those are not very clear in this picture.

What is Pulsed Field Ablation?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Most popular method is pulmonary vein isolation using these energy sources as the pulmonary veins harbour the triggers for atrial fibrillation. Destabilization of cell membranes cause cellular necrosis without any significant heat generation.
