Abstract
|
|
|
Echocardiography has developed into clinically useful equipment at a rapid rate. If echocardiography is to become a definitive diagnostic tool for the study of congenital heart disease, it is essential that the internal cardiac anatomy as well as any associated defects be delineated.
The echocardiographic examination of younger patients can be considerably different, especially in small children such as premature infants.
Physicians dealing with adult patients see relatively few truly complex congenital anomalies since many
do not survive to adult life. However the pediatric echocardiographer must be prepared to analyze complicated anomalies.
The detection of an atrial septal defect has been a major use of echocardiography. The principle M-mode application has utilized the criteria for the diagnosis of a right ventricular volume overload. These criteria require dilatation of the right ventricular chamber and abnormal septal motion. Similar findings are observed in patients with pulmonic insuffiency, tricuspid insufficiency or anamalous pulmonary venous drainage.
The echocardiography was taken to the five patients with ASD who visited in Busan University Hospital. Their echocardiographic findings were similar with the other´s findings, such as dilatation of RV and abnormal septal motion.
