Aortopathy encompasses a spectrum of conditions predisposing to dilation, aneurysm, dissection, or rupture of the aorta and other blood vessels. Pathogeneses include connective tissue disorders, smooth muscle contraction disorders, and congenital heart disease, including bicuspid aortic valve, among others. Circulation, Ahead of Print.

Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement: If the mitral valve, which can be found between the heart’s left atrium and left ventricle, is unable to function properly, its flaps thicken or stiff, and oftentimes fuse together. Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER): TEER focuses on the mitral valve.

Of course, papillary muscle rupture and mitral regurgitation should be on the differential here, as in this case , but it is not very likely when the BP is so high. Inferior LV "aneurysm" morphology Electrocardiographic "LV Aneurysm" morphology simply means "persistent ST elevation after previous MI." Is this acute STEMI?

Many genes in the identified pathways were previously reported in genome‐wide association studies for aneurysm, bicuspid aortic valve, or aortic size.ConclusionsSmaller sample sizes in rare disease studies necessitate new approaches to detect modifiers. Two implicated matrisome genes (ACANandLTBP4) were uniquely expressed in the aorta.

Mitral valve leaflets seen in open position between the left ventricle and left atrium are thickened. The large aortic regurgitation jet can be seen as a mosaic jet in the left ventricular outflow tract anterior to the anterior mitral leaflet. Thickening of both aortic and mitral leaflets indicate the possible etiology as rheumatic.

For example, mid-anterolateral and mid-inferior segments generally harbor papillary muscles and infarction of these segments may result in acute mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle dysfunction or rupture. These being said, the most important thing in this clinical situation is to diagnose OMI, whatever you call it.

While rarely tested, when sexes were compared, the mechanisms of SMC-MR-mediated disease were sexually dimorphic.

When there are QS-waves, one should always think about LV aneurysm, but ST to QRS ratio and T-wave to QRS ratio are far too large and not compatible with left ventricular aneurysm. There is some R wave in the lateral precordial leads. Leads V3 and V4 both have 6mm ST elevation. This ECG shows a lot of "acuity".
