Abstract:
:Paradoxical interventricular septal motion with right ventricular dilatation has been considered the hallmark of right ventricular volume overload. We report a 43-year-old woman with severe pulmonary hypertension due to pulmonary veno-occlusive disease who exhibited these echocardiographic abnormalities. Right ventricular volume overload was excluded by physical examination, echocardiography with saline contrast study and by cardiac catheterization, angiography, and shunt study. These echocardiographic findings are thus not pathognomonic of right ventricular volume overload and can be seen with pressure overload as well.
