Abstract
Direct and indirect evidence of right ventricular coronary arterial co mmunications has been detected by use of 2-dimensional and Doppler ech ocardiography in patients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricula r septum. We describe additional consistent and reproducible Doppler e chocardiographic findings that were useful for identifying patients in whom abnormal coronary arterial flow patterns were detected angiograp hically.
