Radiodiagnosis of cardiac and cardiovisceral malpositions
- 1. Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia, Sao Paulo (Brazil)
Description
The situs or position of the heart and thoraco abdominal organs and viscera has been determined in 100 cases, having or not congenital or adquired cardiopathies or pneumopathies, by means of frontal and oblique radiographies of the thorax and superior part of the abdomen. In some of the cases the tomography or the broncography was also practiced, to study the bronchial morphology so as to determine the pulmonary situs, and consequently the atrial situs. In all the cases the relationship between the radiologic and electrocardiografic findings has been analysed. The cardiovascular malformations were confirmed by cardiac catheterism, cineangiocardiography, and in some cases, by surgery and necropsy. Research on the Howell-Jolly corpuscules in the blood was done in three cases having asplenia. Finally, the literature about other diagnostic methods has been consulted to detect the cardiac and cardiovisceral malpositions. (Author)
Abstract (Portuguese)
O 'situs' ou posicao do coracao e de orgaos e visceras toraco-abdominais foi determinado com radiografias frontais e obliquas do torax e parte superior do abdome em 100 casos, tendo ou nao cardiopatias congenitas ou adquiridas ou pneumopatias. Em alguns casos praticou-se tambem a tomografia ou a broncografia visando o estudo da morfologia dos bronquios para determinacao do 'situs' pulmonar e consequentemente, atrial. Foi analisada a relacao entre os achados radiologicos e o eletrocardiograma em todos os casos. As malposicoes e anomalias cardiovasculares foram confirmadas por meio do cateterismo cardiaco, cineangiocardiografia e, em alguns casos, durante a cirurgia ou tambem a necropsia. Pesquisa de corpusculos de Howell-Jolly foi efetivada em 3 casos com asplenia. Finalmente, consultou-se a literatura sobre outros metodos de diagnostico com raios x ou ultra-som na deteccao das malposicoes do coracao e de orgaos e visceras toracicos e abdominais.
