Abstract

Aim: The right atrium pressure load is increased in pulmonary stenosis (PS) that is a congenital anomaly and this changes the electrophysiological characteristics of the atria. However, there is not enough data on the issue of P wave dispersion (PWD) in PS. Methods: Forty- two patients diagnosed as having valvular PS with echocardiography and 33 completely healthy individuals as the control group were included in the study. P wave duration, p wave maximum (p max) and p minimum (p min) were calculated from resting electrocariography (ECG) obtained at the rate of 50 mm/sec. P wave dispersion was derived by subtracting p min from p max. The mean pressure gradient (MPG) at the pulmonary valve, structure of the valve and diameters of the right and left atria were measured with echocardiography. The data from two groups were compared with the Mann-Whitney U test and correlation analysis was performed with the Pearson correlation technique. Results: There wasn’t any statistically significance in the comparison of age, left atrial diameter and p min between two groups. While the MPG at the pulmonary valve was 43.11 ± 18.8 mmHg in PS patients, it was 8.4 ± 4.5 mmHg in the control group. While p max was 107.1 ± 11.5 in PS group, it was 98.2 ± 5.1 in control group (p=0.01), PWD was 40.4 ± 1.2 in PS group, and 27.2 ± 9.3 in the control group (p=0.01)Moreover, while the diameter of the right atrium in PS group was greater than that of the control group, (38.7 ± 3.9 vs 30.2 ± 2.5, p=0.02). We detected a correlation between PWD and pressure gradient in regression analysis. Conclusion: P wave dispersion and p max are increased in PS. While PWD was correlated with the pressure gradient that is the degree of narrowing, it was not correlated with the diameters of the right and left atria.

Abstract

Objective To investigate whether or not the CHA2DS2-VASc score predicts left atrial (LA) thrombus detected on pre-cardioversion transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Materials and Methods The medical records of patients who had undergone TEE were reviewed to assess the presence of LA thrombus prior to direct-current cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (AF). The CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated for each patient. Clinical TEE reports were reviewed for the presence of LA thrombus. Patients with a valve prosthesis or rheumatic mitral valve disease were excluded from this study. Results A total of 309 patients were identified. The mean age was 70.1 ± 9.8 years and 151 (49%) patients were males and 158 (51%) were females. LA thrombus was seen in 32 (10.3%) of the 309 patients. Fifty (16.2%) patients had a low CHA2DS2-VASc score (0-1), 230 (74.4%) had an intermediate score (2-4) and 29 (9.4%) had a high score (5-9). The incidence of LA thrombus in the low, intermediate and high CHA2DS2-VASc score groups was 0, 4.4 and 68.7%, respectively. The LA thrombus risk increased with increasing CHA2DS2-VASc scores. On multivariate logistic analysis, the CHA2DS2-VASc score (OR 3.26, 95% CI 2.3-4.65; p = 0.001) and age (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.88-0.98; p = 0.004) were independent risk factors for LA thrombus in patients with non-valvular AF. Conclusion A high CHA2DS2-VASc score was independently associated with the presence of LA thrombus in patients with non-valvular AF.

Abstract

Cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) is a rare congenital abnormality. Clinical presentation of patients with CTS mainly depends on the anatomic features of membrane and may vary from mild or moderate symptoms mimicking mitral stenosis to more severe and complicated cardioembolic stroke or a new onset heart failure. We herein have reported on a young male who presented with the signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis and was diagnosed as CTS with gradient on the orifice of the membrane after transthrocacic echocardiography. Computerized tomographic angiography revealed that the patient had unilateral, left sided pulmonary arterial hypoplasia and pulmonary vein atresia, with only the right pulmonary veins draining into the left atrial chamber. Further cardiac imaging by either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is necessary in order to seek accompanying cardiac and vascular abnormalities. Patients with CTS have improved short and long term survival rates if CTS and accompanying abnormalities are surgically treated before the disease is complicated with heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, stroke and etc.
