  • Title: Usefulness of live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in diagnosing acquired left ventricular-right atrial communication misdiagnosed as severe pulmonary hypertension by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography.

    Journal: Echocardiography; 2009 Feb; 26(2):224-7. PubMed ID: 19207997.
    Abstract:
    We describe an adult patient with an acquired left ventricular-right atrial communication that was misdiagnosed as severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) by two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography, but accurately detected on three-dimensional (3D) transthoracic echocardiography. Open heart surgery confirmed the defect.
