Doppler echocardiographic detection of traumatic ventricular septal defect--a case report
1Section of Cardiology, St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Hartford, Connecticut.
Abstract:
A case of traumatic ventricular septal defect diagnosed by Doppler echocardiography is described. The characteristic pulsed Doppler findings of a left-to-right shunt were recorded and the two-dimensional echocardiographic images of septal interruption were shown. Combined Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography enhances the ability to detect the presence of a ventricular septal defect. Doppler echocardiography appears to be a useful noninvasive imaging modality in the evaluation of patients with cardiac trauma.

TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
