Abstract:
:A case of congenitally divided left atrium detected on cross-sectional echocardiography is described. Simultaneous Doppler examination helped to diagnose the obstructive nature of the partition within the left atrium by locating a turbulent high velocity (2.2 meters/second) diastolic signal. The diagnosis was confirmed on cardiac catheterization and surgery.
