RESUMO
The authors of the image chapters of the National Association of Cardiologists of Mexico (ANCAM) and the Mexican Society of Cardiology (SMC), as well as personnel from the Department of Medicine and Nutrition of the University of Guanajuato, together with prominent experts in cardiovascular imaging from Mexico, have collaborated in the review, analysis and expansion of the various health strategies published in the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, to safely perform cardiac imaging studies. This update aims to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission among patients and health-care personnel in the CT, MRI, and nuclear cardiology services. This work was expanded with supplementary information available free of charge on the website www.ancam-imagen.com.
Los capítulos de imagen de la Asociación Nacional de Cardiólogos de México (ANCAM) y de la Sociedad Mexicana de Cardiología (SMC), así como personal del Departamento de Medicina y Nutrición de la Universidad de Guanajuato, en conjunto con destacados expertos de la imagen cardiovascular en México, han colaborado en la revisión, análisis y ampliación de las diversas estrategias sanitarias publicadas en los primeros 15 meses de la pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) para realizar con seguridad los estudios de imagen cardiaca; esta actualización tiene como objetivo principal disminuir el riesgo de transmisión de la COVID-19 entre los pacientes y el personal de salud en los servicios de tomografía, resonancia y cardiología nuclear.

In cor triatriatum sinister, a membrane divides the left atrium into a posterior chamber that receives the pulmonary veins and an anterior chamber that communicates with the mitral valve. With right-side chamber overload, the septum primum can separate from the muscular septum and bow toward the left atrial cavity, leading to a thin membrane within the left atrium and imaging findings that may mimic cor triatriatum. We report the multidetector CT findings of a 3-month-old infant with a supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with a bowed septum primum. A description of the imaging findings that distinguish cor triatriatum and bowed septum primum will be discussed. This case demonstrates the usefulness of MDCT in the assessment of supracardiac vascular anomalies and intracardiac anatomy.
