  • Title: Cardiac herniation and volvulus with acquired dextrocardia: echocardiographic diagnosis.
    Author: Nanda S, Pamula J, Bhatt SP, Turki MA, Myers E, Dale T.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2007 Sep; 24(8):870-4. PubMed ID: 17767539.
    Abstract:
    We report an extremely rare cause of elevated jugular venous pulse where two esoteric causes for the same-cardiac volvulus and cardiac herniation have occurred together. Echocardiographic evidence for making the diagnosis of cardiac volvulus--subcostal long axis, subcostal short axis, and suprasternal views--have been presented. Awareness of this complication is necessary as immediate intervention is mandatory for a positive outcome.
