Echocardiographic diagnosis of a pulmonary artery aneurysm.

Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery is an uncommon anomaly which may be very difficult to diagnose without angiography. The present report demonstrates that the echocardiographic diagnosis of a pulmonary artery aneurysm is feasible. Correlation between chest X-ray, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, angiography and necropsy is presented. Several echocardiographic features of the pulmonic valve motion in pulmonary hypertension, not previously described, are discussed.

The value of serum magnesium estimations in the diagnosis of acute perioperative myocardial infarction after coronary artery surgery.

Serum magnesium levels fall significantly after acute myocardial infarction. Even greater decreases have been found in all patients undergoing aorto-coronary bypass surgery. This is probably related to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. No significant difference in serum magnesium levels was found between those patients who had a well documented peri-operative infarct and those who had an uncomplicated course. Thus determination of serum magnesium levels if of no use in the diagnosis of peri-operative myocardial infarction.
