Surgical operation performed in TGA, single ventricle, and restrictive VSD causing subaortic stenosis.

Side-to-side aorta and pulmonary artery connection to provide unrestricted blood flow from the systemic ventricle to the aorta.

High negative predictive value for PE and DVT.

Positive D-dimer results with medium–high clinical probability of PE should be followed by CTA.

Anomalous cardiac position with the apex pointing the right chest wall.

Cardiac anatomy may be normal.

Check for other congenital cardiac lesions.

Differential diagnosis: in case of abnormal heart position, look for congenital absence of pericardium.

See section “Heart failure”.

See section “Aortic coarctation”.

Genetic disease on chromosome 22 leading to thymic hypoplasia with low T cell count, hypoparathyroidism with hypocalcemia, and outflow tract defects of the heart (ToF, truncus arteriosus, interrupted aortic arch, right-sided aortic arch, aberrant right subclavian artery).

Impaired systolic function with dilatation of cardiac chambers.

Diastolic function can be normal or impaired.

Causes: inherited (25 %), myocarditis, metabolic, nutritional, and persistent tachycardia. Usually diagnosis of exclusion.

Differential diagnosis: ischemic heart disease, valvular disease, adult congenital heart disease, left ventricular noncompaction, iron-overloaded cardiomyopathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, hypertensive heart disease.

Indirect vasodilator agent used in stress MR.

Increase endogenous levels of adenosine blocking cellular uptake.

Dipyridamole dose: 0.56 mg/kg IV over 4 min.

Prolonged action (~30 min).
