systolic murmurs/necrosis

In a 41-year old man hospitalized for investigation of a systolic ejection murmur, echocardiography revealed an apical (17 mm) and, chiefly, a mid ventricular (38 mm) myocardial hypertrophy resulting in a true stricture at that level. During systole the mid ventricular area became obstructed,

An occipitoatlantoaxial malformation and ventricular septal defect (VSD) were diagnosed in a 36-hour-old female camel. Physical examination revealed a firm protrusion of the dorsal aspect of the atlas and axis, tilting of the head to the left, and a grade V/VI systolic murmur. Neurological

Dissection of the inferior wall of the right ventricle during the acute phase of myocardial infarction with right ventricular involvement is a mechanical complication which has been recently identified, the diagnosis being almost exclusively post-mortem. The authors report the clinical,

A fatal case of a stressed newborn baby who developed tricuspid insufficiency due to an anterior papillary muscle infarction of the right ventricle, related to perinatal anoxia is reported. The baby needed resuscitation management and had a systolic murmur soon after birth. The echocardiographic

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the severity of cardiac complications of neonatal asphyxia in relation to the length and degree of hypoxia. METHODS Ninety babies with an Apgar score < or = 6 were examined in the intensive care unit at our institution during seven years. Arterial blood for measuring pH,

In three patients with myocardial infarction complicated by rupture of the ventricular septum the AA. looked for characteristic echocardiographic signs, to be used in a differential diagnosis with mitralic insufficiency from the dysfunction of the papillary muscles. The partial disagreement between
