  • Title: Cor triatriatum: a reversible cause of severe pulmonary hypertension.
    Author: Howe MJ, Thomas MP, Agarwal PP, Bach DS, Rubenfire M.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 2015 Apr; 31(4):548.e1-3. PubMed ID: 25745881.
    Abstract:
    Cor triatriatum sinister is a congenital heart disorder that can lead to progressive dyspnea, pulmonary hypertension, and ultimately right ventricular (RV) failure. We report a case in which symptoms of progressive pulmonary hypertension were initially attributed to asthma, leading to a delayed diagnosis that resulted in suprasystemic pulmonary pressures and RV dysfunction. Rapid symptomatic and hemodynamic improvement was observed after surgical repair, with normalization of pulmonary artery pressures and RV function.
