Bilateral conus and Absent conus Bilateral conus is seen in double outlet right ventricle. Conus is manifest as a semilunar valve – AV valve discontinuity with the conus
X-ray appearance in D-TGA Egg on side appearance is the classical appearance of the cardiac shadow on X-ray chest PA view in dextro transposition of great arteries [1].
Right aortic arch on X-ray chest PA Side of aortic arch is identified by the tracheal indentation by the arch. The indentation is seen on the right side
What is the most important diagnostic feature of mitral regurgitation? Apical location of the murmur is the most important diagnostic feature of mitral regurgitation. Second is the blowing
Pointers of associated mitral valve obstruction in severe aortic regurgitation Mid diastolic Austin Flint murmur in severe AR may be mistaken for associated mitral stenosis. Pointers of associated
Tachypnoea, Hyperpnoea, Hyperventilation Tachypnoea: Tachypnoea is an increase in the rate of respiration. Hyperpnoea: Hyperpnoea is an increase in depth and rate of respiration. Hyperventilation: Hyperventilation is an
Mechanism of wide fixed split in atrial septal defect The pulmonary component of second heart sound does not move with respiration in atrial septal defect because the right ventricular
Mechanism of loud first heart sound in mitral stenosis In severe mitral stenosis, due to elevated left atrial pressure, the closure of the mitral valve is delayed and
What is the phenomenon of pressure recovery in aortic stenosis? Phenomenon of pressure recovery in aortic stenosis: Systolic pressure in the aorta will be lower immediately distal to
Ventriculo-arterial pressure gradient It is usually the peak to peak gradient which is measured from pressure tracing during cardiac catheterisation, while Doppler echocardiography measures the peak instantaneous gradient.
