HEART

So, That was the day…
AND NOW..
BASICALLY THE SEGMENTAL ANATOMY
MEANS..
DOES THAT MAKES ANY
SENSE????
OBJECTIVES
• Identify cardiac segments and components.
• Understand and apply segmental approach.
• Review variations in cardiac connections.
• To see basic imaging techniques.
• Employ knowledge with case review.
1960
• RICHARD VAN PRAAGH
• AMERICA
1960
• MARIA VICTORIA DE LA CRUZ
• MEXICO
1970
• ECHO CARDIOGRAPHY BROUGHT THE TERM SEQUENTIAL
SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS.
• Sequential approach to evaluating heart.
• Evaluates the cardiovascular system in
“segments”.
• Based on pattern recognition of
Normal.
• Allows comprehensive examination of
cardiac structure.
BUT WHY????
THE ANSWER IS ..
• Congenital heart defect : Simple to very
complex
• Cardiac segment are constant (most of the
time)
• Approaching in sequence minimizes error rate.
• Pattern recognition of normal is best for
defect detection.
• Early defect detection improves clinical
outcomes.
• Congenital heart defect : Simple to very complex
• Cardiac segment are constant (most of the time)
• Approaching in sequence minimizes
error rate.
• Pattern recognition of normal is best for defect
detection.
• Early defect detection improves clinical
outcomes.

BASIS
• Cardiac connections are identified as :
–Venoatrial
–Atrio ventricular
–Ventriculo arterial
BASIS
• Cardiac connections are identified as :
–Venoatrial
–Atrio ventricular
–Ventriculo arterial
BASIS
• Cardiac connections are identified as :
–Venoatrial
–Atrio ventricular
–Ventriculo arterial
ATRIAL SEGMENT
•PULMONARY VENOUS CONNECTIONS
•Usually 4 veins: 2 from each lung
•SYSTEMIC VENOUS CONNECTIONS
•Single SVC to RA roof.
•Hepatic veins convergence with IVC to floor
ATRIAL SITUS
ATRIAL SITUS SOLITUS
• Position the atria normally occupy
• Almost always corresponds to visceral situs
– Viscero atrial situs is often used term
ATRIAL SITUS
• ATRIAL SITUS INVERSUS
– The viscera and atria are opposite (Mirror Image )
to normal.
ATRIAL SITUS
ATRIAL SITUS AMBIGUOS
• Atrial isomerism or Heterotaxy syndrome
• “Bilateral sidedness” of structures
– Left atrial isomerism
– Right atrial isomerism
HETEROTAXY FEATURES- VENOATRIAL
Left Atrial Isomerism
• Interrupted IVC
• Bilateral SVC
• LSVC to CS
• Atrial septum primum +
• Pulmonary veins ipsilateral
• CAVSD
Right Atrial Isomerism
• Continuos IVC
• Bilateral SVC
• Absent CS
• Common Atrium
• TAPVC
• CAVSD

ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONNECTION
• Type and mode of connection between atria
and ventricles.
• Types of AV connection –
– Concordant

VENTRICULAR SEGMENT
• Described based on morphology
• Morphology best defined by internal features.
• “LOOPING” pertains to the RV position in
relation to the LV.
– Normal is rightward loop (“D” for dextro)
• Describes the spatial position of the
ventricles.
VENTRICULAR SEGMENT
• Ventricular Looping –
If RV loops to the Right –
“D” Loop
If RV loops to the left –
“L” Loop
VANPRAAGSYSTEM(Ventricular loop orientation)

• Relation of Morphologic
RV as compared with
Morphologic LV
– Dextro loop { __, D, __}
– Levo loop { __, L, __}
– Cannot be determined
{__, X, __}
VENTRICULOARTERIAL CONNECTION
• CONCORDANT
– MPA arises from
morphologic RV
– Aorta arises from
morphologic LV
Irrespective of spatial
location of ventricles
NORMAL – Great Arteries
typically cross
VENTRICULOARTERIAL CONNECTION
• DISCORDANT-
Aorta arises from
morphologic RV
MPA arises from LV
PARALLEL VESSELS
Usually seen in TGA
VENTRICULOARTERIAL CONNECTION
• DOUBLE OUTLET
VENTRICLE
ARTERIAL SEGMENT
• Position of Aorta in
relation to Pulmonary
Artery.
• NORMALLY Aorta is
located posterior and
to the right of MPA ( at
the level of semilunar
valves)
• Conus anatomy may
be useful
