Cor triatriatum: a multimodality imaging approach

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart anomaly.
• It can lead to significant clinical manifestations, including congestive heart failure.

Observation:

• A 60-year-old male patient presented with symptoms of congestive heart failure.
• Echocardiography was the initial diagnostic tool.

Findings:

• The patient was definitively diagnosed with cor triatriatum.
• The study reviews various imaging modalities essential for accurate diagnosis.

Implications:

• Early and accurate diagnosis of cor triatriatum is crucial for timely intervention.
• Understanding the role of different imaging techniques aids in patient management.
