[False chordae tendineae in the left ventricle. Echo and phonocardiographic findings]. 1985

A Wessel, and C Beyer, and W Pulss, and U Kempmann, and P H Heintzen

In 91 of 1007 children (9%) with and without heart disease who underwent echocardiographic exploration we found false chordae tendineae in the left ventricle. These bands, usually running from the lateral wall to the interventricular septum, showed strong ultrasound reflections and could be seen in at least two different views. More than one band was rarely seen in the ventricle. All children with false chordae tendineae in the left ventricle had innocent heart murmurs. Of these systolic murmurs 91% were, according to their sound quality, maximal intensity and frequency, Still's innocent murmurs. On the other hand, in 72% of 54 other children with innocent murmurs we found false chordae tendineae in the left ventricle by careful 2D-echocardiographic exploration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002815 Chordae Tendineae The tendinous cords that connect each cusp of the two atrioventricular HEART VALVES to appropriate PAPILLARY MUSCLES in the HEART VENTRICLES, preventing the valves from reversing themselves when the ventricles contract. Tendineae, Chordae
D004452 Echocardiography Ultrasonic recording of the size, motion, and composition of the heart and surrounding tissues. The standard approach is transthoracic.
