What are the Cyanotic Congenital Heart Diseases With Decreased Pulmonary Blood Flow?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

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 (..)

Right atrial pressure, not Doppler jet velocity, is the problem in estimating pulmonary pressure when tricuspid regurgitation is severe

Heart BMJ

Echocardiography allows estimation of right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure by adding the estimated right atrial pressure (RAP) to the systolic pressure gradient between the RV and right atrium (RA) calculated from the tricuspid regurgitant (TR) Doppler velocity.

Artificial intelligence-enabled phenotyping of patients with severe aortic stenosis: on the recovery of extra-aortic valve cardiac damage after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Open Heart

Objective A novel artificial intelligence-based phenotyping approach to stratify patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proposed, based on echocardiographic and haemodynamic data. ±15.8 ±15.1 mm Hg, p value: 0.0079). to 84.7%) and 74.6% (95% CI 65.9% to 94.8%)).

Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Both atria develop from a combination of the primitive atrium, sinus venous, and pulmonary veins.It Regarding the issue at hand, it is widely known that in cases of mitral stenosis with AF, the left atrium (LA) is larger than the right atrium (RA) due to the obvious reason that the baseline LA was larger at the onset of AF.

Quantitative fluid overload in severe aortic stenosis refines cardiac damage and associates with worse outcomes

European Journal of Heart Failure

Assessment of fluid overload identifies aortic stenosis (AS) patients at high risk and treatment of fluid overload may potentially improve the post-interventional clinical course. Aims Cardiac decompensation in aortic stenosis (AS) involves extra-valvular cardiac damage and progressive fluid overload (FO).

Chest discomfort and a dilated right ventricle. What's going on?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

(maybe not seen well on these echo-loops) The CW doppler at the tricuspid valve showed a maximum TR velocity of 2,55m/s with a TRP gradient of 26mmHg. large ASD, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, significant tricuspid regurgitation, carcinoid valvular disease, etc,) 2) Conditions causing pressure overload of the RV.

Evaluation of JVP

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. In right atrial tracing, this occurs at the time of right ventricular contraction, with bulging upwards of the tricuspid valve. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade.
