A. Sinus venosus type of ASD
B. Ostium secundum ASD

D. Coronary sinus type ASD


Answer: A. Sinus venosus type of ASD


Explanation:
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is characterized by the failure of 1-3 pulmonary veins to incorporate within the developing left atrium.
Most commonly right upper pulmonary vein is affected and connects to the superior vena cava.
Sinus venosus ASD is typically associated with PAPVC.

Warden’s procedure is used for correction of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) to prevent the stenosis of pulmonary veins or vena cava.

ST segment and T wave changes

What is the cause of ST changes and T wave inversions in this ECG? Should the patient be taken to Cath lab for coronary angiography? Show Answer These ST segment and T wave changes are secondary to left ventricular hypertrophy. There are classical features of left ventricular hypertrophy in this ECG which should not be missed. Hence, if the patient doesn't have any other features which suggest ischemia, then he should undergo evaluation for cause of left ventricular hypertrophy. The most common cause for left ventricular hypertrophy is hypertension.
