Echocardiographic recognition and implications of ventricular hypertrophic trabeculations and aberrant bands.

摘要: The accuracy of two-dimensional echocardiography in the recognition aberrant ventricular bands and pathologic trabeculations (hypertrophic, fibrotic, or both) was assessed 35 patients who underwent cardiac transplantation examination. At study prevalence specific intracavitary structures ranged from 28% to 43%. Left thrombi were found 12 (34%) right three (9%). Echocardiography accurately defined left thickened fibrotic trabeculations. Bands, trabeculations, each showed characteristic echocardiographic patterns. In ventricle, these recognized, but accurate discrimination among them not possible by echocardiography. Aberrant mimicked obscured fresh organized on longitudinal interventricular septal border four patients; presence abnormalities could lead erroneous diagnosis asymmetric hypertrophy M mode By expressing anomalous bands, our results support feasibility prospective studies clarify their clinical significance.
