Transcript of the video: Closure line of aortic valve on M-Mode echocardiogram, is seen as central line, while in bicuspidaortic valve, it is an eccentric closure, nearer to one of the walls of the aorta. This eccentricity of closure of the aortic valve leaflets, can be calculated using what is known as eccentricity index.
Objective A novel artificial intelligence-based phenotyping approach to stratify patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proposed, based on echocardiographic and haemodynamic data. ±15.8 ±15.1 mm Hg, p value: 0.0079).
Methods and Results This case report discusses a 65-year-old man who had previously undergone pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation for atrial fibrillation before ASD closure, respectively. He developed atrial tachycardia (AT) and underwent catheter ablation.
This is the schematic diagram of the heart in which you can see right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta and pulmonary artery. Unlike the valves on the left side like the mitral and aortic, right sided valves can have some leak. Similarly, another right sided valve is the pulmonary valve.
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. A Gore-Tex tube is used and this maintains, this is a Blalock-Taussig shunt, which maintains pulmonary circulation.
Cardiovascular neurocristopathy, i.e., cardiopathy and vasculopathy, associated with the NCC could occur in the form of (1) cardiac septation disorders, mainly the aortico-pulmonary septum; (2) great vessels and vascular disorders; (3) myocardial dysfunction; and (4) a combination of all three phenotypes.
This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position. From the images you do not know whether the mitral valve is really fully closed or almost about to be closed. You can also see the aortic override. Separation between the attachments of the aortic and mitral valve.
The bicuspid or mitral valve is the left atrioventricular valve is. The pulmonary semilunar valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk. The aortic semilunar valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta. Like the heart chambers, there are four heart valves between each of the chambers.
Normally, the main pulmonary artery segment will be concave and left atrial appendage region also will be not prominent. So that is why we see straightening of left border, typically heard of in mitral stenosis with left atrial enlargement and mild pulmonary hypertension. Those are not very clear in this picture.
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation for which the left atrium (LA) is usually accessed by the antegrade femoral venous route and transseptal puncture. However, in rare cases, alternative routes must be used to overcome anatomical challenges (congenital or acquired).
This year's Boot Camp covered training in cardiopulmonary bypass skills, vessel anastomosis, diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies, open pulmonary lobectomy, TAVR, and wire skills.
While the first one may radiate to the axilla and base, but usually not into the neck, it does reflect both aortic outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation in patients with a large gradient. On the other hand, the murmur in valvular aortic stenosis does not change substantially or decreases slightly following the Valsalva maneuver.
Tracing in the lower part is tissue Doppler imaging from the medial mitral annulus. Opening and closing movements of the aortic and mitral valves are visible. The aorta, right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery up to its bifurcation is imaged in the upward angulation shown in the left panel.
When there is ectopy, there is a chance for spurious mitral regurgitation to occur during left ventriculography. So it will not produce a true LV to aorta pullback tracing, which is required in cases like aortic stenosis. When the tip is in the left ventricle, this region will be in the aorta sometimes.
The RFCs were much more successful at classifying murmurs from the pulmonary and tricuspid valves (AUROC = 0.83 and 0.78, respectively) when compared with the aortic and mitral valves (AUROC = 0.72 All RFC models were evaluated using the area under their receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs). and 0.65, respectively).
We are blessed with 4 heart valves – 2 on the left side which are known as the mitral and aortic valves and 2 on the right side – the tricuspid and pulmonary valves.

By these mechanisms, SMC-MR promotes disease progression in models of aging-associated vascular stiffness, vascular calcification, mitral and aortic valve disease, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. While rarely tested, when sexes were compared, the mechanisms of SMC-MR-mediated disease were sexually dimorphic.
I suspect pulmonary edema, but we are not given information on presence of B-lines on bedside ultrasound, or CXR findings. Anything that causes pulmonary edema: poor LV function, fluid overload, previous heart failure (HFrEF or HFpEF), valvular disease. What "initiates" the aortic stenosis cascade? She was started on lasix.
Aims We set out to explore associations between a ‘mitral-specific’ cardiac damage score (m-CDS) and survival outcomes in mitral regurgitation (MR) and compare the performance of the m-CDS and an ‘aortic-specific’ CDS (a-CDS) in patients with MR within the large National Echo Database of Australia.
Right from the days we entered medical schools, severe mitral stenosis was defined by less than 1 cm² MVO by echocardiography. The bottom line is, we should not miss a functionally significant mitral stenosis, strictly adhering to the anatomical 1 cm² cut-off. There is something called low gradient severe MS (as in aortic stenosis).
Larger shunt volume means less blood exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve and lower cardiac output. Rupture can be either free wall rupture (causing tamponade) or septal rupture, causing ventricular septal defect with left to right flow and resulting pulmonary edema and shock.
AF, atrial fibrillation; LAVI, left atrial volume index; RA, right atrial; RV, right ventricular; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure; SVI, stroke volume index; TR, tricuspid regurgitation. Aims Paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (pLFLG AS) may represent a diagnostic challenge, and its pathophysiology is complex.
