Cœur en sabot, (French for "clog-shaped heart"), is a radiological sign seen most commonly in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot, a cyanotic congenital heart disease. It is a radiological term to describe the following findings in the x-ray: * The cardiac size is normal or mildly enlarged. * The left cardiac border shows uplifted apex " outermost lower most point of the heart at the left side" denoting right ventricular enlargement. * exaggerated cardiac waist, which means that the pulmonary segment is small and concave suggesting infundibular pulmonary stenosis. Echocardiography has been used for confirmation and differentiation of congenital heart diseases. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cœur en sabot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
