摘要：Diastolic dysfunction is a common substrate of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in the elderly. A minority of them, however, has another etiology of PH with diastolic dysfunction as a confounder, the alarming echocardiographic features of which are important to recognize. For example, dilated coronary sinus is unusual, as is significantly dilated right atrium, right ventricle or pulmonary artery. We report a rare case of PH in an elderly woman caused by an unrecognized partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) of the left and right pulmonary veins into the coronary sinus with intact atrial septum, which to our knowledge has not been reported in the literature.
