Detecting dilated coronary sinus when assessing patients in an acute emergency with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is important for differential diagnosis, including the detection of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and right ventricular dysfunction. Cardiac POCUS with agitated saline injections through the left and right antecubital veins is a simple bedside test to make the diagnosis. We present a 42-year-old woman with first-time rapid atrial flutter in whom POCUS confirmed the presence of dilated coronary sinus and PLSVC.
在急性紧急情况下使用床旁超声（POCUS）评估患者时，检测扩张的冠状静脉窦对于鉴别诊断很重要，包括检测永存左上腔静脉（PLSVC）和右心室功能障碍。通过左右肘前静脉注射搅动盐水进行心脏POCUS是一种简单的床旁检查方法，可用于做出诊断。我们报告了一名42岁首次发生快速心房扑动的女性，POCUS证实其存在扩张的冠状静脉窦和PLSVC。
