[Congestive myocardiopathy and early dyastolic closure of the tricuspid valve. Report of a case with acute tricuspidization].
A case with congestive cardiomiopathy and early diastolic closure of the tricuspid valve is presented. This abnormal echocardiographic finding was probably the result of severe tricuspid regurgitation occurring in a restricted right ventricle. The absence of paradoxical septum was determinedly the left ventricular pathology. In this case, echocardiography was more sensitive for the detection of the left sided abnormalities, than the heart cath data.
