• Right atrial appendage (RAA) blood flow pattern was analyzed in 42 normal subjects without cardiovascular disease (aged 30 to 48 years, mean 40 ± 6) who underwent transesophageal echocardiography. RAA flow pattern was demonstrated to be bi-, tri- or quadriphasic and heart rate dependent (p < 0.01) in this study. In 15 subjects (36%), a biphasic pattern was observed. A triphasic pattern was observed in 12 subjects (28%). Fifteen subjects (36%) had a quadriphasic pattern. In these subjects, we observed a pattern consisting of two diastolic forward flow waves, each followed by a backward flow wave. Mean heart rates among subjects with bi-, tri- and quadriphasic patterns were 110 ± 6, 91 ± 4 and 72 ± 13 beats/min, respectively. In the triphasic pattern, the onset of superior vena cava diastolic forward flow began 18 ± 4 ms after the onset of tricuspid E wave, whereas the first diastolic forward flow wave in the RAA began 40 ± 7 ms after onset of the tricuspid E wave. A similar relation was also noted in the quadriphasic pattern. This sequence was constant and independent of heart rate (p < 0.05), suggesting a temporal relation between right ventricular relaxation and the first diastolic forward flow wave in the RAA. In normal subjects, the RAA flow pattern is heart rate dependent and three distinct flow patterns can be differentiated. Right ventricular relaxation appears to induce both the superior vena cava diastolic forward flow wave and the first diastolic forward flow wave of the RAA. These results can be used for comparison with patterns found in disease states.
