Eccentricity Index in Bicuspid Aortic Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Closure line of aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram, is seen as central line, while in bicuspid aortic valve, it is an eccentric closure, nearer to one of the walls of the aorta. That is an important feature of bicuspid aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram.

Echocardiogram in Rheumatic Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

In this view, you can see that mitral leaflets are thickened. This is anterior mitral leaflet, thickened, and in the closed position of mitral valve, when there should be no flow to the left atrium, you are seeing a jet, a mosaic jet, which has been traced out. This is the mitral regurgitation jet.

Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation on Colour Doppler Echo

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Here, this is the forward flow through the mitral valve in diastole in red. This is reverse flow from the aortic valve, that is aortic regurgitation jet. Area of the jet corresponding to the receiving chamber, that is left atrium, that is also deciding factor in assessing the severity of mitral regurgitation.

Norwood Procedure for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of video: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome is a very severe form of congenital heart disease, in which, the left ventricle, aorta and mitral and aortic valves are hypoplastic and valves may be atretic as well. It has a very poor survival. This is diagrammatic representation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Echocardiographic evaluation in aortic regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

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. Aortic valve is seen as grossly thickened and calcified.

M-Mode Echocardiogram in LV Dysfunction

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Right ventricular outflow tract, left ventricle, left atrium, aorta, aortic valve, mitral valve. Location of the transducer here, in the parasternal region. This is the parasternal long axis view. These are the things you have seen in that inset image. This is movement of the anterior wall of the right ventricle.
