Locomotor brachii or locomotor brachialis is often described as a peripheral sign in severe aortic regurgitation or other causes of aortic runoff. The post Locomotor Brachii appeared first on All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders.

This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position. You can also see the aortic override. So, when there is an aortic override, if the override of the aorta is less than 50%, you think of tetralogy of Fallot. Separation between the attachments of the aortic and mitral valve.

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. But even in nearly normal persons, there could be a little bit of leak in the tricuspid valve. That is known as mild tricuspid regurgitation.

Calcium deposits in the aortic valve between the left ventricle, the lower left chamber and the aorta which receives the blood pumped out, can spread to the conduction system and produce first degree AV block. First degree AV block in older persons due to degeneration of the conduction system or aortic valve can also progress.

Devices like an intra-aortic balloon pump and left ventricular assist device may be useful to some extent. Intra-aortic balloon pump uses intermittent inflation of a balloon attached to a tube placed in the aorta. Medications are given as a drip to enhance the blood pressure as an emergency measure.

This is reverse flow from the aortic valve, that is aortic regurgitation jet. That is, flow away from the transducer is depicted as blue. Flow towards the transducer is depicted as red. Here, this is the forward flow through the mitral valve in diastole in red. That also occurs in diastole.

SMART 4 ( NCT04722250 ) studied patients with severe aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The study concluded that among low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, TAVI is as effective as SAVR in terms of the composite outcome of death or stroke at 1 year.

In this image, aortic regurgitation jet is seen as aliased, with part of it above the baseline and part of it below the baseline, which is known as wrap around. It is shown as a circle along the dotted Doppler line in the image, just beyond the aortic valve. Nyquist limit is half the pulse repetition frequency.

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.

Another important serious disease which has to be thought of in a person with pain in the chest or upper back is aortic dissection. Aortic dissection is tear in the inner lining of the aorta. Difference in blood pressure between the arms is more likely in the presence of risk factors.

FFR is obtained by dividing the pressure distal to the stenosis by the central aortic pressure, which is usually equal to the pressure proximal to the stenosis if there is no additional stenosis in between. Matching of the wire tip pressure and the aortic pressure should be done before crossing the lesion. Normal FFR is 1.0

You can see the ventricular septal defect and aortic over ride. And, usually this done, Blalock-Taussig shunt, classic shunt, opposite to the side of the aortic arch. There are several surgical options for tetralogy of Fallot and also some sequelae for these, we will see. This is the diagrammatic representation of tetralogy of Fallot.

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. For that you will have to use a catheter without side holes like this, like a multi-purpose catheter or some other catheter you have to use.

Rare long term problems include narrowing of the pulmonary artery and aortic regurgitation due to aortic root enlargement.
