Type: article

Abstract: Transtorakln echokardiografie pedstavuje uiten nstroj pro screening vrozench anomli koronrnch tepen. Jednoznan vyvrtila nzor, e anatomii koronrnch tepen nelze zkoumat neinvazivn. Uznvaj se ti echokardiografick znaky souvisejc s anomliemi lev koronrn tepny. Tyto znaky jsou: znak retroaortlnho r. circumflexus (retroaortic circumflex, RAC), znak bublinky (bleb sign) a znak peken aorty (crossed aorta sign). Znak RAC je vysoce specifick a na popisu echokardiogramu jednoznan ukazuje na anomln koronrn tepnu. Je vak naprosto nezbytn ho odliit od podobn vypadajcch struktur. Proto se doporuuje jako primrn metody pro oven znmch anomli koronrnch tepen nebo podezen na n pout koronrn CT angiografii. © 2025, KS.
