Systemic arteriovenous fistula simulating severe valvular aortic stenosis. 1976

E S Blesa, and T H Kreulen, and E Perlstein, and E S Escovitz, and R R Tyson

A patient with a renal arteriovenous fistula is described. She was though to have valvular aortic stenosis because of a history of rheumatic fever, symptoms of congestive heart failure and syncope, and the presence of a harsh systolic murmur with a thrill in the aortic area. Cardiac catheterization revealed a left-to-right shunt of 8.7 L/min. Ligation of the fistula resulted in complete relief of the symptoms and attenuation of the murmur.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D006337 Heart Murmurs Heart sounds caused by vibrations resulting from the flow of blood through the heart. Heart murmurs can be examined by HEART AUSCULTATION, and analyzed by their intensity (6 grades), duration, timing (systolic, diastolic, or continuous), location, transmission, and quality (musical, vibratory, blowing, etc).
