The criss-cross and superoinferior ventricular heart: an angiocardiographic study

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

The angiocardiographic features of 11 patients with superoinferior and criss-cross type of atrioventricular (A-V) connections are presented. These unusual ventricular relations are thought to result from postseptation disturbances of ventricular looping. The angiocardiographic appearance of criss-cross is really an illusion, and the A-V connections among these patients are either concordant, discordant or straddling. The often small right A-V valve inflow and sinus portion of the ventricle, combind with the ventricular rotational anomaly, combine to give the angiocardiographic perception of criss-cross. A review of the 11 patients from this institution and those previously reported on suggests that most patients have a transposition of malposition of the great arteries; many have a small right ventricle, and about half have pulmonary outflow tract obstruction. In addition to the obvious embryologic, morphologic and clinical implications of these distorted ventricular loops, the criss-cross A-V hearts raise questions about the various segmental nomenclatures applied to these types of congenital heart disease.

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.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
