Coeur en sabot

Coeur en sabot, "Boot shaped heart", is seen most commonly in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot, a cyanotic congenital heart disease. It is a Radiological term to describe the following findings in the Xray :
1- The cardiac size is normal or mildly enlarged.
2- The left cardiac border shows uplifted apex " outermost lower most point of the heart at the left side" denoting right ventricular enlargement.
3- exaggerated cardiac waist, which means that the pulmonary segment is small and concave suggesting infundibular pulmonay stenosis.


Recently, Doctors use Echocardiography for confirmation and differentiation of congenital heart diseases
