Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Adult Congenital Heart Disease AB - A 45-year-old woman is referred to cardiology for a murmur and abnormal echocardiogram. She had overall a healthy life. She had 3 uncomplicated pregnancies. Although she does not exercise regularly, she had always been able to keep up with her peers. She denied chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations. At her most recent annual physical examination, her primary care physician auscultated a holosystolic murmur at the apex and at the left sternal border. He referred her for an echocardiogram and subsequently to cardiology for further evaluation. Her past medical history included an appendectomy and well-controlled hypertension with a single drug (thiazide diuretic). She has been a lifelong nonsmoker, works as a second-grade teacher, lives with her husband and has a youngest child in college. Her physical examination revealed a blood pressure of 126/80 mm Hg, heart rate 65 bpm with normal saturations on room air. She had a diffuse apical impulse, 2/6 holosystolic murmur at the apex, radiating to the left sternal border, normal pulses, and no edema on her cardiovascular examination. There were clear lungs and no jugular venous distension. There was no evidence of hepatosplenomegaly on abdominal examination. Echocardiography revealed congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CC-TGA) (with ventricular inversion) with moderate systemic atrioventricular valve regurgitation.
