Echocardiogram in Rheumatic Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

You can see the reverse flow into the left ventricle from the aorta, with the aortic valve in closed position. Beacuse, as the aortic valve is closed, and the regurgitant jet is coming in, and left ventricular diastolic pressures are lower than the aortic pressures. You cannot say its highly quantitative estimation.

M-Mode Echocardiogram in Left Ventricular Dysfunction

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: This is a still image from a colour Doppler echocardiogram, obtained from the apical five chamber view. This is reverse flow from the aortic valve, that is aortic regurgitation jet. These are the features, you have AR jet, and MR jet, in a still image of colour Doppler echocardiogram.

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. This eccentricity of closure of the aortic valve leaflets, can be calculated using what is known as eccentricity index.

M-Mode Echocardiogram in LV Dysfunction

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: This is a still image of M-Mode Echocardiogram. Right ventricular outflow tract, left ventricle, left atrium, aorta, aortic valve, mitral valve. M-Mode is Time-Motion Mode. The horizontal axis is time. Vertical axis is distance from the transducer. In the inset you can see the two dimensional image.

Echocardiographic evaluation in aortic regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Echocardiogram in parasternal long axis view shows dilated left ventricle, left atrium, aorta and a small portion of the right ventricle, which is usually the outflow region. The large aortic regurgitation jet can be seen as a mosaic jet in the left ventricular outflow tract anterior to the anterior mitral leaflet.

Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Unlike the valves on the left side like the mitral and aortic, right sided valves can have some leak. That is, mild mitral regurgitation and mild aortic regurgitation are less common. Mostly, they are detected on highly sensitive tests like echocardiogram. In echocardiogram, the Doppler beam can detect this small leak.
