A case with ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva into the right atrium directly visualized by cross-sectional echocardiography was reported. A 31-year-old male was referred to our hospital for evaluation of recently developed cardiac murmur. A systolic ejection murmur and diastolic blowing murmur were audible maximally at 3-4L and the latter one was also well audible at the right lower sternal border. Cardiac catheterization data revealed a large left-to-right shunt at the atrial level. The cross-sectional echocardiogram, obtained with a transducer at 5R towards the upwards and the medial direction, revealed a mass echo showing a pendulous motion through cardiac cycle in the right atrial cavity. Ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva originated from the non-coronary sinus was demonstrated by aortography, and it showed the same motion as in echocardiography. From this angiographic finding and its disappearance after operation, the mass visualized by echocardiography was considered to be ruptured aneurysm itself. Thus, direct visualization of ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva into the right atrium, as well as other types, was possible by cross-sectional echocardiography. In addition, multiple coronary A-V fistulae with a small shunt were demonstrated by coronary angiography in this case. Clinical significance of the complication has not been clarified.

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
D004452 Echocardiography Ultrasonic recording of the size, motion, and composition of the heart and surrounding tissues. The standard approach is transthoracic.

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

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).
