Internal cardiac crux: two-dimensional echocardiography of normal and congenitally abnormal hearts

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology
J B SewardW D Edwards

Abstract

The internal cardiac crux is an important anatomic landmark for the appreciation of both normal and congenitally altered anatomy. The four-chamber two-dimensional echocardiographic plane of section at the internal crux is the most feasible tomographic plane. The unique noninvasive access to the internal crux anatomy is frequently more sensitive and diagnostic than other imaging modalities, including angiography. This report describes the echocardiographic and anatomic landmarks of the normal crux and the more frequent congenital anomalies that alter these relationships.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
