All right. Let's go to the next case moving
0:03
right along here's case 9.
0:06
And let's blow this one up a bit and I'll start
0:09
from the top. I'll scroll through. So I want you to
0:12
look at everything. Now. I'm going to give you the fact that
0:15
this person has some coronary artery disease. So that's that's
0:18
a given here.
0:20
Let's scroll on down and look at the heart all
0:23
the chambers.
0:25
Everything that's going on.
0:31
I'll scroll back up.
0:37
Okay. So let's open the polling for this case and
0:40
see what people think. Where is the most significant abnormality?
0:45
And just ask yourself what you think this abnormality is?
0:51
And let's put up the poll question.
0:56
And I'll continue scrolling through this.
1:05
Blow up the hurt a little bit more.
1:07
Okay, so let's close the poll question.
1:11
And let's see what people thought.
1:16
All right. Where did you think the most significant abnormality was? Some people
1:19
thought cardiac Chambers some people thought septum and
1:22
I've left that broad so they could mean enter
1:25
atrial or interventricular septum and then
1:28
other people thought myocardium and it is true
1:31
that The myocardium
1:34
looks a little bit thick the LV looks a little bit thick
1:37
but let me show you the most significant abnormality here.
1:40
So what about this so along the
1:43
inter atrial septum you see a bulge
1:46
a big bulge here and it's bulging
1:49
from the left side to the right side and at
1:52
first glance she might think wow, you know,
1:55
I'm showing you another case of an ASD
1:58
and atrial septal defect. But in this case, it's important
2:01
now that there are other things that can look somewhere to
2:04
an interracial septal Defector and
2:08
atrial Supple defect and this is actually and interest
2:11
atrial septal aneurysm
2:14
So the supplement can actually thin and become
2:17
aneurysmal and the reason this is important to
2:20
recognize is first of all not to
2:23
mistake it for something else not to mistake it for
2:26
a huge ASD per se and not to
2:29
mistake it for a mass. And also the other thing that's
2:32
associated with these is you know, a PFO
2:35
paid in Freeman o'valley tends
2:38
to be highly associated with this particular
2:41
abnormality. So when you see
2:44
one of these you may want to just recommend getting an echo just
2:47
to check and see if patients have a pain
2:50
Freeman a valley that's associated with this. So this
2:53
isn't interracial septal aneurysm and the other
2:58
Interesting thing about these is that this is
3:01
the normal direction for them to be facing. They should be
3:04
bulging to the right side because of the higher pressure
3:08
on the left side, but these pressures
3:11
can be reversed in cases of elevated right-sided
3:14
pressures, like pulmonary emboli acute right
3:17
heart strain and just chronic homemade hypertension
3:21
and they can actually then flip over
3:24
and bulge from the right side to the left side and
3:27
I've seen that happen acutely. So that's something interesting
3:30
to look for.
