| Abstract: | Isolated corrected transposition of the major vessels is a rare congenital pathology that may have an asymptomatic course. In some cases the patients develop some symptoms of cardiac pathology due to the disorders in the atrioventricular conductivity and the development of "mitral" insufficiency. The disturbances in the atrioventricular conductivity and in the cardiac rhythm may be provoked in such patients by intercurrent diseases due to intoxication, and the development of "mitral" insufficiency is brought about by the peculiarities of the structure of the arterial morphologically right ventricle working under functional tension. The diagnosis of an isolated corrected transposition of the major vessels is based on the data of electrocardiography and X-ray. The final diagnosis is made after heart catheterization and angiocardiography. |
