Abstract
A unique instance of an anomalous chorda tendinae visualized in the left ventricular outflow tract during M-Mode and two-dimensional echocardiog raphy, and subsequently confirmed during surgery for concomitant severe rheumatic valvular disease, is described. The M-Mode appearance can be confused with more serious forms of heart disease manifesting extraneous echoes in the outflow tract, and an approach to these echoes is described, based on a review of the literature.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
