Reverse McConnell sign in a patient with acute pulmonary embolism

Pulmoner embolinin tanısı için birçok ekokardiyografik parametre bulunmaktadır. Bu parametreler arasında, sağ ventrikül apikal kasılması normalken sağ ventrikül serbest duvar hareketinde hipokinezi olması “McConnell bulgusu” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Biz sağ ventrikül apeksi ve serbest duvarının reversibl akinezisine yol açan akut pulmoner embolili bir olgu sunduk ve bu bulguyu “ters McConnell işareti” olarak yorumladık.

Akut pulmoner embolili hastada ters McConnell bulgusu

There are various echocardiographic parameters for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Among these paramaters, “McConnell sign” is defined as right ventricular free wall hypokinesis in the presence of normal right ventricular apical contractility. We presented a patient with acute pulmonary embolism which caused reversible akinesia of the apex and right ventricular midfree wall, a finding we would like to term “reverse McConnell sign.”
