What are the reverse and opposite cardiac beat points?

Cardiac reverse beat point and opposite beat point are the same, generally refers to the imaging examination of the left ventricle and pulmonary artery segment beating in the opposite direction, the intersection of the two is called the opposite beat point, also known as reverse beat point. The left edge of the heart is divided into the upper section of the aortic bulb, the middle section of the pulmonary artery trunk, and the lower section consists of the left ventricle, which is a maximal arc; the pulmonary artery segment beats in the opposite direction to the left ventricle and the intersection of the two is called the opposite beat point, which is an important symbol of the enlargement of the left and right ventricles. An upward shift of the opposite beat point indicates that the left ventricle may be enlarged, which is seen in aortic valve insufficiency; a downward shift of the opposite beat point indicates that the right ventricle may be enlarged, which is seen in right ventricular hypertrophy resulting in enlargement of the pulmonary artery segment. When heart discomfort occurs, it is important to consult a doctor who can identify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
