What is McGinn-White Sign?

What is McGinn-White Sign?

The McGinn-White Sign is the S1Q3T3 pattern seen on the ECG in the setting of acute pulmonary embolism or other causes of acute right heart strain (cor pulmonale).

What can cause S1Q3T3?

Other common pathological conditions which can cause S1Q3T3 electrocardiographic abnormality are pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, cor pulmonale, acute lung disease, and left posterior fascicular block.

What is McConnell sign?

McConnell’s sign is defined as right ventricular free wall akinesis with sparing of the apex. Typically this looks as if the apex of the RV is a trampoline bouncing up and down while the rest of the RV remains still. This finding is not sensitive, but in a small study was specific for an acute PE.

What is Hampton hump?

Hampton’s hump is a radiological sign consisting of a peripheral, wedge-shaped opacification adjacent to the pleural surface, which represents pulmonary infarction distal to a pulmonary embolus. 1. Owing to good pulmonary perfusion from collateral blood vessels, this sign is rarely seen in clinical practice.

What is acute cor pulmonale?

Purpose of review: Acute cor pulmonale is a form of acute right heart failure produced by a sudden increase in resistance to blood flow in the pulmonary circulation, which is now rapidly recognized by bedside echocardiography.

What is McConnell’s sign on Echo?

McConnell’s sign is a distinct echocardiographic feature of acute massive pulmonary embolism. It is defined as a regional pattern of right ventricular dysfunction, with akinesia of the mid free wall and hyper contractility of the apical wall.

What is the 60 60 sign?

The 60/60 sign in echocardiography refers to the coexistence of a truncated right ventricular outflow tract acceleration time (AT <60 ms) with a pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) of less than 60 mmHg (but more than 30 mmHg).
