Serial measurements of left ventricular dimensions by echocardiography. Assessment of week-to-week, inter- and intraobserver variability in normal subjects and patients with valvular heart disease.

The week-to-week, inter- and intraobserver variation in left ventricular echocardiographic measurements has been studied in 10 normal male volunteers and in five patients with stable valvular disease. A two-way analysis of variance showed no statistically significant variation either from week to week or between observers. Furthermore the within observer variation was minimal. Calculation of the coefficient of variation allowed confidence limits to be applied to each of the six ventricular measurements, thus providing ranges of variation in follow-up studies using M-mode echocardiography.

Cor triatriatum: unusual cause of transient ischaemic attacks in a 67-year-old man.

Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital cardiac malformation, and in its most common form is characterised by a membrane that separates the left atrium into a proximal and distal chamber. First manifestation in adulthood has been reported previously, but at 67 years of age this patient is one of the oldest to present for the first time. It was diagnosed after a probable TIA, episodic vertigo and central retinal artery occlusion. The value of echocardiography in patients with neurological disease of presumed embolic origin is demonstrated here.
