[Congenital diverticulum of the left ventricle (author's transl)]. 1979

J Quintana Domínguez, and L Gutiérrez Palau, and J Batalla Batalla, and A Ballester Nolla, and J Simón Lamuela, and M Petit Guinovart

A case of congenital diverticulum of the left ventricle associated with probable mitral and tricuspid prolapses is presented. The authors comment on the absence of symptomatology in patients affected with this disease and point out the electrocardiographic, radiologic, and phonomechanocardiographic data. The importance of the left ventriculography in the diagnosis and classification of this disease stands out, as does the value of echocardiography (mode-M) in the diagnosis of mitral and tricuspid valvular prolapses which were associated in the present case. The classifications given by various authors in connection with this anomaly are reviewed and lastly the appropriate therapeutic approach is discussed. There is a surgical possibility for young asymptomatic patients, taking into account the little experience we have at present on the natural history of this disease.

D008297 Male Males
D008945 Mitral Valve Prolapse Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA.

D010701 Phonocardiography Graphic registration of the heart sounds picked up as vibrations and transformed by a piezoelectric crystal microphone into a varying electrical output according to the stresses imposed by the sound waves. The electrical output is amplified by a stethograph amplifier and recorded by a device incorporated into the electrocardiograph or by a multichannel recording machine. Phonocardiographies

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
D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
