[Coronary artery fistula between the left anterior descending branch and the left ventricle; a case report (author's transl)]. 1977

D Böttcher, and H Freudenberg, and P Lichtlen

The rare case of a coronary fistula from the left anterior descending branch to the left ventricle is presented. The 38 year old woman was admitted with homonymous quadrantanopsia and hyperacusis. An abnormal Ecg and a systolic and diastolic murmur of unknown origin were discovered. Cardiac catheterization yielded normal findings. Coronary angiography demonstrated an aneurysma of the dilated left anterior descending coronary artery with a fistulous communication into the left ventricle. This congenital left to left shunt produced a typical mid-diastolic murmur clearly separated from the systolic murmur.

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
D003330 Coronary Vessel Anomalies Malformations of CORONARY VESSELS, either arteries or veins. Included are anomalous origins of coronary arteries; ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA; CORONARY ANEURYSM; MYOCARDIAL BRIDGING; and others. Anomaly, Coronary Vessel,Coronary Vessel Anomaly
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
