Cardiac auscultation revealed a systolic ejection murmur grade III/VI at the left sternal border. Pulmonary auscultation was normal. Chest X-ray showed no evidence of pathological images in both lung ...

Background The presence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients is not well described. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic CHD associated with ...

Background Parameters of myocardial deformation have been suggested to be superior to conventional measures of ventricular function and to predict outcome in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). We ...

Case Report We will present a male infant aged 10 months with a diagnosis of Alagille syndrome. The boy was born from his mother’s first, regularly controlled pregnancy. The boy was vital at birth ...

There was prominence of the left precordium, a left parasternal systolic lift and thrill and a Grade 5/6 pansystolic murmur. The 2nd sound comprised a single accentuated component.

Ejection fraction (EF) is applied as a clinically relevant metric to assess both left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function. EF depends on the interplay between end-systolic volume (ESV) and ...

A 52-year-old man with tetralogy of Fallot status/post a classic right Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt during infancy and then complete repair with a transannular patch at 1 year of age presents to the ...

Ventricular function is routinely assessed by applying the clinically accepted metric ejection fraction (EF). The numerical value of EF depends on the interplay between end-systolic volume (ESV) and ...

Based on associations found in retrospective studies, pulmonary regurgitation (PR) has been postulated to be an important risk factor for late onset of arrhythmic complications and progressive right ...

Physical examination showed an ejection systolic murmur at left sternal border. Regular pulse at 112 bpm and pulse oximetry with 92% oxygen saturation. Remaining physical findings were unremarkable.

A recently published case study highlights the link between tetralogy of Fallot and Alagille syndrome (ALGS) in a male infant. “Although pulmonary stenosis is the most common heart defect within ...
