[Corrected transposition of the great vessels. A clinical review of 21 cases (author's transl)]. 1976

B Cavallini, and G Ronconi, and E Baiguini

Clinical and instrumental features of 21 cases of congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels are reviewed. We confirm the rarity of the isolated form of the disease and its frequent association with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis. Electrocardiographically, the inversion of the first vectors is represented more frequently by the absence of the q wave on the left precordial leads than by the presence of the q wave on the right precordial leads; a very frequent electrocardiographic feature is a positive T wave on the right precordial leads. The angiographic image of the two ventricles in the lateral projection where they appear as crossing each other in their upper part were described. We confirm the poor results of the surgical treatment of the disease and the non-benign prognosis, because of the other associated cardiac anomalies.

D003914 Dextrocardia A congenital defect in which the heart is located on the right side of the THORAX instead of on the left side (levocardia, the normal position). When dextrocardia is accompanied with inverted HEART ATRIA, a right-sided STOMACH, and a left-sided LIVER, the combination is called dextrocardia with SITUS INVERSUS. Dextrocardia may adversely affect other thoracic organs. Dextrocardias
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
