| Popis: | In patients with prolapsing right atrial myxoma, paradoxical ventricular septal motion and right chamber dilatation have been observed. The abnormal septal motion has been ascribed to concomitant severe tricuspid regurgitation. Frame-by-frame analysis of echo-Doppler tracings in one case allows an alternative explanation: the septal motion abnormality and the hepatic vein flow pattern are mainly due to hemodynamic effects of tumor movements during the cardiac cycle. |
