Right Ventricular Pre-ejection Myocardial Velocity and Myocardial Acceleration in Normal Fetuses Assessed by Doppler Tissue Imaging

Right Ventricular Pre-ejection Myocardial Velocity and Myocardial Acceleration in Normal Fetuses Assessed by Doppler Tissue Imaging

Kenji Harada, MD, Masaki Ogawa, MD, and Toshinobu Tanaka, MD, Akita, Japan

Myocardial acceleration during isovolumic contraction obtained from Doppler tissue imaging has been introduced as an index of right ventricular contractile function that is unaffected by the shape of the ventricle and loading conditions, but normal value of myocardial acceleration during isovolumic contraction and the effect of aging on the index are not known in normal fetuses.

Golf Balls fetali : Cosa sono ?

ECOCARDIOGRAFIA FETALE
“GOLF BALL” cosa sono ?

a cura di S. Gerboni

Negli anni 80,da Allan nel 1986 e Schech et all. nel 1987, è stata descritta durante l’ecocardiografia fetale,la presenza di un focolaio
ecogeno o iperecogeno del muscolo papillare del ventricolo sinistro nel cuore fetale, col termine di “golf ball” (GB) o palla da golf.

for the
Multidisciplinary Study of Right Ventricular Dysplasia Investigators
Boston, Massachusetts; Tucson, Arizona; Baltimore, Maryland; Houston, Texas; and Rochester, New York

OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this study was to quantify the echocardiographic abnormalities in probands
who were newly diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD).
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of ARVD remains challenging. The Multidisciplinary Study of Right
Ventricular Dysplasia was initiated to characterize the cardiac structural, clinical, and genetic
aspects of ARVD
