Abstract

We describe an adult patient with an acquired left ventricular-right atrial communication that was misdiagnosed as severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) by two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography, but accurately detected on three-dimensional (3D) transthoracic echocardiography. Open heart surgery confirmed the defect.
