Insights
Anomalous chordae of the heart were found in 21.7% of 322 cardiovascular disease patients. These chordae did not impact disease diagnosis, progression, hemodynamics, or left ventricular mass.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Cardiac Anatomy
Background:
- Anomalous chordae are anatomical variations in the heart.
- Their clinical significance in cardiovascular diseases requires further elucidation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the prevalence of anomalous chordae in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
- To assess the impact of anomalous chordae on disease diagnosis and progression.
Main Methods:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis of 322 patients with diagnosed cardiovascular diseases.
- Evaluation of disease diagnosis, clinical course, hemodynamics, and left ventricular myocardial mass.
Main Results:
- Anomalous chordae were identified in 21.7% of the studied patient cohort.
- No significant association was found between anomalous chordae and disease diagnosis, clinical course, hemodynamics, or left ventricular myocardial mass.
Conclusions:
- Anomalous chordae are a relatively common finding in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
- The presence of anomalous chordae does not appear to influence the diagnostic, hemodynamic, or structural aspects of these conditions.
Abstract:
ECG of 322 patients with various cardiovascular diseases allowed the conclusion on the occurrence of anomalous chordae of the heart in 21.7% of cases. The chordae had no effect on the disease diagnosis, running, hemodynamics, left ventricular myocardial mass.
