OpenAlex İngilizce

A 32-year-old man, admitted for inguinal hernia repair, was referred for preoperative cardiac evaluation because of a continuous murmur. He had no past history of cardiovascular disease and no cardiac complaints. Blood pressure was normal, 110/70 mmHg. Auscultation revealed a grade V/VI continuous murmur along the right sternal border. No other abnormalities were found. Chest X-ray was unremarkable and the electrocardiogram was normal with sinus rhythm, 74 beats per minute. Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed rupture of an aneurysm of right coronary sinus into right ventricle ( Fig. 1 ). Surgical repair was performed and the patient made an uneventful recovery.
