Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Ebstein’s Anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart disease in which survival to adult life is common. In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. Anterior leaflet is elongated and sail like.

Triple vasodilator therapy in pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease

Heart BMJ

Objective This study assessed the long-term effects of triple therapy with prostanoids on patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD), as there is limited information on the safety and efficacy of this treatment approach.

Management and outcomes of carcinoid heart disease with liver metastases of midgut neuroendocrine tumours

Heart BMJ

Objective Despite recent advances in surgical and interventional techniques, knowledge on the management of carcinoid heart disease (CHD) remains limited. Results Out of 43 (16%) consecutive patients with severe CHD and liver metastases of midgut NETs, 79% presented with right-sided heart failure.

Collection of a few ECGs in congenital heart diseases

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Crochetage sign on ECG in ASD ECG in ASD with severe pulmonary hypertension: Tall R’ in V1, ST depression in inferior leads and V2-V5, and T inversion in inferior leads and V1-V6 are seen. All these features together in a cyanotic congenital heart disease is characteristic of tricuspid atresia.

Imaging and haemodynamic parameters associated with clinical outcomes following isolated tricuspid valve surgery

Open Heart

Introduction Isolated tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients with congenital heart disease, infective endocarditis and those who underwent concomitant valve or pericardial surgery were excluded. We only included those who had all three tests before surgery: ECHO, CMR and RHC.
