Soporte anatómico en el diagnóstico ecocardiográfico de la ausencia de conexión atrioventricular derecha / Anatomic support in the echocardiographic diagnosis of right atrioventricular connection

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To show the close relationship between the anatomic features and the echocardiographic image in the absence of right atrioventricular connection. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Echocardiographic study of a patient with right atrioventricular connection and a corresponding anatomic specimen from the Museum of Embryology of the INC "lgnacio Chávez". RESULTS: A close correlation between an anatomic specimen with absence of right atrioventricular connection and an echocardiographic image of a patient with the same cardiopathy was established. CONCLUSION: The correlation between the anatomic features and the echocardiographic image, supports the imagenologic diagnostic precision of this method.
