Background Progressive right heart chambers dilatation is frequent in the adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) population. We evaluated the immediate and mid-term response of right heart chambers to surgery performed in adulthood for lesions associated with right heart chambers enlargement. Methods Thirty-six adult patients with lesions associated with right heart chambers enlargement submitted to surgery were studied . We collected echocardiographic data of right ventricle (RV) mid-diameter, right atrial volume indexed, RV systolic pressure, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) prior to surgery (T0), at 2 to 5 days (T1), and 3 to 6 months (T2) after surgery. Results At T1, we observed a significant decrease of RV mid-diameter (47.2 ± 8.4 vs. 39.6 ± 7.4 mm, P < .001), right atrial volume indexed (45.6 ± 26.6 vs. 27.2 ± 11 ml/m2, P < .001), and RV systolic pressure (39 ± 14.8 vs. 32.8 ± 11.3 mm Hg, P = .03). At T2, a further significant deviation in the rate of RV diameter (39.6 ± 7.4 vs. 34.5 ± 5.1 mm, P < .001), in RV systolic pressure (32.8 ± 11.3 vs. 25.3 ± 5 mm Hg, P = .03) and TAPSE (13.9 ± 3.2 vs. 15.8 ± 2.6 mm, P < .001) was observed. Conclusions Positive right heart chambers remodeling occurs as early as in the immediate post-operative period in most ACHD patients operated for lesions associated with right heart chambers enlargement.

Between 1978 and 2002, 15 patients (mean age, 23.0 ± 8.5 years) with cardiac and pericardial echinococcosis were treated surgically. The cysts were located in the right atrium in 3 patients, on the anterior myocardium in 7, and pericardially in 5. The 3 patients with right atrial cysts were operated on using cardiopulmonary bypass. There were 4 recurrences requiring re-operation after a mean of 12 months. All other patients received mebendazole treatment and exhibited no recurrence during follow-up. One late death due to chronic right heart failure occurred after 10 months of follow-up. The serologic test is an effective method of diagnosis in undeveloped and developing countries.

Background The size of right atrium is expected to be different in diverse healthy ethnic groups. It is important to know the normal size of right atrium in our healthy population.Objective The study aimed to find out the normal values of right atrial volume, right atrial short axis diameter and right atrial long axis diameter in healthy Nepalese population with normal echocardiographic findings. It also looked at correlations between right atrial dimensions and the right atrial volume.Method Verbal consent was taken from all the participants. One hundred participants between the age of 18 and 60 years with normal echocardiographic findings and without any chronic disease were included in this study. Right atrial volume was measured by using area length method. Right atrial short axis diameter and Right atrial long axis diameter were measured in the four chamber view.Result The mean right atrial volume was 23.64±5.36 ml (range 11.30 - 40.00 ml).The range of right atrial short axis diameter and right atrial long axis diameter were 1.34-3.80 cm and 2.4-4.7 cm respectively.Conclusion The size of right atrium in the Nepalese population is smaller compared to western population. Male right atrial volume size is greater than female in Nepalese population similar to western population. The findings of normal value of right atrial volume and right atrial diameter in Nepalese population will help the physician to assess patients with various conditions affecting the right atrium.Kathmandu University Medical Journal Vol.12(2) 2014: 110-112

Abstract Löffler endocarditis with hypereosinophilic syndrome is rare but can cause critical ventricular obliteration by endomyocardial fibrosis. A 52-year-old woman experienced severe right heart failure with extreme shrinkage of her right ventricle, severe tricuspid regurgitation and marked right atrial enlargement. Preoperative tests showed identical pressures in the right atrium and pulmonary artery. Endocardial stripping was done, and to enlarge the right ventricle, we relocated the anterior and posterior tricuspid leaflets cephalad, up the right atrium wall, to ‘ventricularize’ a portion of the right atrium, with autologous pericardial augmentation of the tricuspid leaflets. An annuloplasty ring was added to reinforce the relocated tricuspid attachment. Right heart pressures normalized postoperatively. The patient recovered uneventfully. She has received corticosteroid therapy continuously and has shown no recurrence of heart failure in the 5 years since surgery.
