Eisenmenger Syndrome In adults with Eisenmenger syndrome the pulmonary vasculature is unusually striking because of the central arterial enlargement. The arteries dilate longitudinally, forming a serpentine THE ELEMENTS OF CARDIAC IMAGING 17 FIGURE 1-30. High-output state in Graves disease. The hilar pulmonary arteries are slightly large. The pulmonary arteries in the lung are larger than their adjacent bronchus in both the upper and lower lobes. FIGURE 1-31. Shunt vascularity in ventricular septal defect.

The spine and ribs reflect the mesodermal dysplasia. Scoliosis, kyphosis, and distortion of numerous ribs are common. The ribs may appear notched from neurofibroma in the neurovascular groove (Figure 1-49). The overconstricted ribs appear like ribbons with bowing and pathologic fractures. Occasionally you may see pseudoarthrosis in the clavicle; interstitial lung disease; and aneurysms of the mediastinal arteries, veins, or lymphatic system. Patients with the Holt-Oram syndrome (heart-hand syndrome) have abnormalities in the upper limbs with congenital heart diseases such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect.

Postacquisition processing involves cropping that allows different views of the interior structures of the heart to be displayed. The structure studied can be manipulated so that it is viewed from multiple angles such as the surgical enface view of the mitral valve from the left atrium (Figure 2-24). Quantitative volumetric data obtained by tracing the endocardial borders increases the accuracy of left ventricular volume assessment and allows for assessment of the right ventricular shape and volume (Figure 2-25).
