Right-sided pulsus alternans may occur in diastolic LV dysfunction despite normal systolic function; leaves open clinical relevance and need for validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Right-sided pulsus alternans can occur in patients with diastolic left ventricular dysfunction despite normal systolic function.
Ilia et al. (1999) conducted a case report in Diastolic left ventricular dysfunction with shortness of breath, hypertension, and left ventricular hypertrophy (n=1). Right-sided pulsus alternans was evaluated on Presence of pulsus alternans in cardiac chambers. Pulsus alternans was demonstrated in the pulmonary wedge position, pulmonary artery, and right ventricle, but not in the aorta or left ventricle in a patient with normal systolic function.
