ABSTRACT Purpose Right atrial volume (RAV) and function have proven prognostic value in the assessment of cardiac disease may be more accurately assessed using three‐dimensional echocardiography (3DE). Normal 3DE reference values for right (RA) healthy children not yet been published. Furthermore, current methods indexing measurements to body surface area (BSA) alone insufficient. We aimed develop 3DE‐derived RAV pediatric population, provide a comparison regression BSA, height, weight, sex,...
Abstract The double-orifice tricuspid valve (DOTV) is a rare lesion. We present series of three patients encountered at the Stollery Children’s Hospital with diagnosis DOTV on 2D and/or 3D echocardiography. patient’s medical records are reviewed for presentation history, investigative findings, and clinical course. discuss cases in context complete review all literature documenting DOTV. In majority cases, lesion relatively benign, little change function over short to medium term, outcomes...
Background: Right atrial (RA) size and dysfunction predicts adverse clinical outcomes in adult Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF); however limited normative or TOF data are published children. We aimed to develop validate 2-dimensional echocardiography normal values for RA function children, by comparison with the children determine functional trajectory after initial repair. Methods: prospectively imaged 156 healthy 13 days 18 years, measured area at end systole (RAAs), onset ECG p wave (RAAp)...
