Isolated Native Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis Caused by Viridans Streptococcus

The present report describes a case of native tricuspid valve endocarditis caused by viridans group streptococcus in a 43-year-old man who had recently undergone dental extraction. The patient had no history of intravenous drug use, heart disease or right heart catheterization. Although there have been scattered reports of unusual organisms, to the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of viridans group streptococcal endocarditis involving only the tricuspid valve after dental manipulation.

Asd Closure

A 60-year-old female was referred to our clinic for evaluation of her rapidly progressive dyspnea, she had no previuos history of heart disease. A murmur was noted on her examination and transthoracic echocardiography was so difficult to be performed due to poor acoustic windows so she was referred to do a transesophageal echocardiography that showed an ostium primum atrial septal defect (ASD) with left to right shunt and a quadrileaflet mitral valve with severe regurgitation. Later on, she underwent surgery with Ostium Primum ASD closure by a patch and double cleft repair by suture after right heart catheterization.

Pulmonary Transit Time

SummaryIn patients with acquired and congenital valvular heart disease correlations of the parameters of the radiocardiographic curve (filling time of the right heart, minimal pulmonary transit time, peak-to-peak pulmonary transit time, and the so-called filling time of the left heart) with the mean pulmonary artery pressure and the mean pulmonary “capillary” pressure were studied. Further, a regression equation was determined by means of which the mean pulmonary “capillary” pressure can be predicted.
