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.

Progression of aortic stenosis after an acute myocardial infarction

Open Heart

Background Myocardial infarction (MI) has been shown to induce fibrotic remodelling of the mitral and tricuspid valves. It is unknown whether MI also induces pathological remodelling of the aortic valve and alters aortic stenosis (AS) progression. Annualised progression rates of AS severity were compared between these 3 groups.

AISAP’s CARDIO AI-powered Diagnostic Assessment Software Receives FDA Clearance

DAIC

Data from the studies demonstrated that AISAP CARDIO enables non-cardiologist physicians to interpret point-of-care echocardiograms just as well as expert cardiologists of the MGB echocardiography lab. James Hillis, MBBS, DPhil, director of Clinical Operations at Mass General Brigham AI.

Abstract TP274: Challenging the Guidelines or Merely an Observation on Transthoracic Echocardiography

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Accurate detection of left atrial appendage (LAA) clot is critical in patients before Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV). Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) has traditionally been the gold standard for LAA clot detection. There is an elevated risk of thrombus formation and ischemic stroke in Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD).

Can a Heart Murmur Go Away?

MIBHS

The aortic valve and mitral valve are two of the most common valves affected by heart murmurs. Conditions such as aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve), aortic regurgitation (leaky aortic valve), and mitral valve prolapse can result in abnormal murmurs. timing, pitch, and intensity).

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. Mitral valve leaflets seen in open position between the left ventricle and left atrium are thickened.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The image shown here is an animated 2 dimensional echocardiogram. This one is an older mode known as time-motion mode or M-Mode echocardiogram. 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.
