“…Regional wall motion abnormalities of the RV For the purpose of analyzing wall motion abnormalities, three walls of the right ventricle can be differentiated: the inferior or diaphragmatic wall, the ventricular septum and the free wall 64 . The parasternal long axis view of the RVIT described above shows the inferoposterior wall directly underneath the tricuspid valve.…”

“…In the posterobasal plane, the echo beam exits through the basal walls of both ventricles, and the atria are not visualized. 15 Counterclockwise rotation of the transducer, from the standard apical four-chamber position to apical two-chamber and apical long-axis views, enabled visualization of the entire ventricular septum from base to apex. In addition, standard and nonstandard subcostal views of the septum were obtained.…”

“…The ventricular septal rupture size was taken from the surgical reports, and when multiple defects were present, these measurements were added to obtain the total rupture size. Eleven of 15 patients required intra-aortic balloon pump support before surgery, and six of these patients died. The five surviving patients required intra-aortic balloon pump support for a mean time of 2.5 days after surgery.…”

Doppler color flow mapping in conjunction with two-dimensional echocardiography was used to evaluate ventricular septal rupture after myocardial infarction (seven anterior and eight inferior) in 15 patients and to correlate these findings with cardiac catheterization and surgical or autopsy data. Ventricular septal rupture was diagnosed by turbulent flow traversing the ventricular septum. The direction and velocity of shunt flow was determined by color M-mode and conventional Doppler methods. In all patients, Doppler color flow mapping correctly defined the site of septal rupture, which occurred at areas of discordant septal wall motion or "hinge points" (six posterior inlet, three anterior inlet, and six apical trabecular septum (Circulation 1990;81:1775-1783 R upture of the interventricular septum after acute myocardial infarction is a lifethreatening complication that requires early and accurate diagnosis for successful management. The systolic murmur that develops after a ventricular septal rupture is often indistinguishable from the systolic murmur of mitral insufficiency, and consequently, the septal rupture may remain unrecognized. Early surgical intervention improves the prognosis in these patients.1-3The conventional method for establishing the diagnosis of ventricular septal rupture uses cardiac catheterization and, occasionally, contrast ventriculogra-

“…Recent studies have emphasized the importance of early reperfusion, either with primary angioplasty or thrombolysis, which make prompt diagnosis imperative. [2][3][4][5] Diagnosis of RV infarction has been based on electrocardiographic (ECG) alterations [6][7][8] and findings from echocardiography, [9][10][11] radionuclide angiography, myocardial perfusion with radioisotopes, 12,13 and RV catheterization. 2 Of these methods, ECG continues to be the simplest and objective technique during the acute phase.…”

SummaryBackground: The role of the right atrium in adaptation to the hemodynamic changes produced by extension of myocardial infarction (MI) of the left ventricular inferior wall to the right ventricle is fundamental.Hypothesis: The aim of this study was analyze a group of patients with MI with extension of right chambers, and particularly right atrial alterations, by transesophageal echocardiography and to correlate it with clinical and angiographic variables.Methods: Thirty patients with right ventricular (RV) MI involving obstruction of the right coronary artery without stenosis of the left coronary artery were included; 18 underwent early reperfusion. Transesophageal echocardiography was performed on all within 5 days of coronary angiography. Follow-up was continued from hospitalization to the present.Results: When patients with right atrial ischemia were compared with those with normal right atrium, the RV wall movement score was significantly greater in the group with right atrial ischemia, severe RV dilatation was more frequent, and association with proximal occlusion of the artery responsible for the MI, as well as absence of right atrial branches and poor collateral circulation, were significant. Hospitalization was
