Echocardiogram in Mitral Valve Prolapse with Mitral Regurgitation (MVP, MR)

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Now we will discuss echocardiogram in mitral valve prolapse. But, even though mitral valve prolapse can be detected echocardiographically in many cases, there may not be significant regurgitation and symptoms in many of them. So we will see some of the features of mitral regurgitation.

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. This is due an ectopic beat.

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.

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. Here, this is the forward flow through the mitral valve in diastole in red. Here also, the extent into the left atrium can be thought of as indicating severity of mitral regurgitation.

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.

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.
