Overview

Case presents an adult with right-sided heart failure, revealing rare congenital heart disease and highlights transthoracic echocardiography's role.

Key Points

  • Right-sided heart failure was a complication due to cor triatriatum, a congenital defect present in adulthood.
  • Diagnostic imaging using transthoracic echocardiography showed the isolated cor triatriatum dexter without other defects.
  • Intervention is necessary for symptomatic patients, while those without symptoms need only regular follow-up.
  • Cor triatriatum typically presents in early life but can be diagnosed incidentally in adults during heart failure assessments.
