We studied five patients with acquired ventricular septal defect during the course of an infective endocarditis. All patients were male and had a previous aortic valve disease associated with an aortic ring abscess. Clinical examination was useful for the diagnosis of 4 cases, emphasizing the following findings: systolic murmur and/or left paraesternal thrill and right-heart failure. Incidence of congestive heart failure was 60%, while 40% of all patients died during the in-hospital course. No specific etiologic agent was detected. Therefore, acquired ventricular septal defect should be suspected in patients with infective endocarditis of the aortic valve that evolve with a systolic murmur and/or paraesternal thrill and right-heart failure. Immediate surgical treatment is mandatory in these cases.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

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
