Abstract |
Transient Tricuspid Insufficiency(TTI) of newborn is a feature of myocardial dysfunction caused
by myocardial hypoxemia secondary to reduced arterial oxygen content and excessive right
ventricular work consequent to pulmonary hypertension.' Since Doppler echocardiography has been
used to diagnose cardiac disease, it allows recording of regurgitant turbulent flow pattern. We report
one case of TTI in a 36 week-gestational-aged newborn detected by continuous wave Dopplar
echocardiography with review of related literatures. |
