  • transthoracic echocardiography of ruptured Chorda tendinea
    International Journal of Cardiology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Salvatore Patane, Filippo Marte, Giuseppe Dattilo
    Abstract:

    The discovery of a left ventricular mass obliges the clinician to perform a differential diagnosis including tumour or lipoma versus thrombus. The discovery of a left ventricular outflow tract obstruction by a mitral mass also obliges the clinician to perform a differential diagnosis including vegetations versus rupture of the Chordae tendineae and its assessment also presents important clinical implications. Echocardiographic diagnosis of rupture of the Chordae tendineae may be difficult to make. We present a case of ruptured Chorda tendinea. Also this case focuses attention on differential diagnosis of a mitral mass.

  • rupture of mitral Chorda tendinea following blunt chest trauma
    Clinical Cardiology, 1998
    Co-Authors: M Alejandro Ruben D Grinberg, M Javier Daniel D Finkielman, A Daniel F A C C Pineiro, M Hector D Festa, M Claudio D Cazenave
    Abstract:

    Acute mitral insufficiency, originated from rupture of mitral Chordae tendineae secondary to nonpenetrating thoracic trauma, is an unusual condition. This diagnosis is difficult to establish because physical examination, electrocardiogram, and cardiac enzymes are neither sensitive nor specific. The diagnosis of rupture must be quickly established because this disorder may be fatal. This paper reports the case of a patient with acute mitral insufficiency secondary to a mitral valve chord rupture a week after a nonpenetrating thoracic trauma.
