[Anatomic support in the echocardiographic diagnosis of right atrioventricular connection]

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Congenital Heart Disease
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Right atrioventricular connection anomalies are complex congenital heart defects.
• Accurate diagnosis relies on understanding cardiac anatomy and imaging modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

• To demonstrate the relationship between anatomical characteristics and echocardiographic findings.
• To validate echocardiography's precision in diagnosing absent right atrioventricular connection.

Main Methods:

• Echocardiographic examination of a patient with absent right atrioventricular connection.
• Comparison with a correlated anatomical specimen from a specialized museum.

Main Results:

• A significant correlation was established between the anatomical specimen and the echocardiographic images.
• The study confirmed the visual correspondence of cardiac structures.

Conclusions:

• The correlation supports the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography for absent right atrioventricular connection.
• This imaging technique precisely reflects the underlying cardiac anatomy.
