Paradoxical Motion of the Interventricular Septum in a Patient with Normal Right Heart Hemodynamics

Paradoxical Motion of the Interventricular Septum in a Patient with Normal Right Heart Hemodynamics

A 32-year-old man with paradoxical motion of the interventricular septum at the level of the chordae tendineae and with normal right heart hemodynamics is presented. It appears that, in absence of severe left ventricular dysfunction or intraventricular conduction defect, paradoxical septal motion is...

Zusammenfassung:A 32-year-old man with paradoxical motion of the interventricular septum at the level of the chordae tendineae and with normal right heart hemodynamics is presented. It appears that, in absence of severe left ventricular dysfunction or intraventricular conduction defect, paradoxical septal motion is not entirely specific for right ventricular volume overload and may represent a rare normal variant
