|
In this case, non-rheumatic GLA was observed and it was intended to report a case of ultrasound examination. The case patient, a 60-year-old male, visited the emergency room for dyspnea and palpitations. For radiology examination, chest X-ray examination and CT examination were performed, and a giant left atrium was confirmed. Echocardiography was performed to find the cause of the giant left atrium. Echocardiography The size and volume of the left atrium were evaluated by Simpson's method, and the giant left atrium with LVEDVI 6 times larger than that of the general giant left atrium could be evaluated. Also, a giant left atrium in a patient without rheumatic heart disease is evaluated as a very rare case. Since non-rheumatic giant left atrium could be caused by functional mitral regurgitation, diastolic dysfunction. It was confirmed that ultrasonography, which allowed both morphological and hemodynamic examinations, could be a useful case.
