We present the echocardiographic analysis of an 86- year-old man affected by Ebstein’s anomaly. In the natural history of this congenital disease only 5% of patients survive beyond the fifth decade. The patient presented severe right atrial dilatation and right heart failure, and he was referred to our institution for supraventricular tachycardia.

Echocardiographic Assessment

We present an echocardiographic evaluation of an elderly man affected with Ebstein's anomaly. In the natural history of this congenital disease only 5% of patients survive beyond the fifth decade. The patient presented severe right heart failure and he was refered to our institution for heart transplantation.

Adverse Factor

Pulmonary vascular and cardiac impairment is increasingly appreciated as a major adverse factor in the natural history of interstitial lung disease. This clinically orientated review focuses on the current concepts in the pathogenesis, pathophysiology and implications of the detrimental sequence of increased pulmonary vascular resistance, pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure in interstitial lung disease, and provides guidance on its management.

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.

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.
