Summary The Fallot ́sche Tetralogy is a congenital heart defect. The existing conditions in the heart cause cyanosis, i.e. an undersupply of oxygen to the blood and organs. The children stand out because of their bluish discolored skin. Among the characteristics are: The disease can manifest itself with varying degrees of severity depending on the … Summary | Tetralogy of Fallot
Diagnosis The ECG shows typical changes of a right-sided increase in muscle mass of the chamber. An ultrasound of the small heart shows both the defect in the cardiac septum, the crossing aorta, and the narrowing of the pulmonary arteries. The X-ray can also provide information. Here, the typical features, such as the enlarged right … Diagnosis | Tetralogy of Fallot
Prognosis The course of this congenital disease depends mainly on the blood circulation in the lungs. If the blood supply to the lungs is low, i.e. the defect is large – i.e. the pulmonary artery is (almost) completely blocked – life expectancy is unfortunately low. Without treatment, every second person affected dies before the age … Prognosis | Tetralogy of Fallot
Introduction The ECG is a procedure that can be used to record electrical signals from the heart. It is a very simple and inexpensive examination method, so it is available almost everywhere. In principle, the ECG can provide initial indications of heart disease, but it is not particularly specific for the diagnosis of myocardial inflammation. … Heart muscle inflammation in ECG
Myocarditis without changes in the ECG? The ECG is able to measure electrical signals in the heart. This allows all disturbances in the excitation conduction system of the heart to be recorded. Often, inflammation of the heart muscle triggers such changes. However, there are certainly cases in which no disturbances of the electrical signals occur. … Myocarditis without changes in the ECG? | Heart muscle inflammation in ECG
