[Echocardiographic potentials in the diagnosis of the right ventricular hypoplasia syndrome].
A total of 15 patients with the right-ventricular hypoplasia syndrome and 3 with cyanosis of noncardiac nature were examined, 20 healthy subjects were controls. The authors noted that the localization of the tricuspid valve from usual position is rather difficult and suggested that the right parasternal lines be used for this purpose. Echocardiographic signs of the right-ventricular hypoplasia syndrome are the combination of the diminished size of the right ventricular cavity with reduction of the opening amplitude and deceleration of the early diastolic closing of the anterior cusps of the tricuspid valve and with increased opening amplitude of the anterior mitral cusp.
