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. So this is a premature beat. is the normal range.

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.

Anatomy of the Mitral Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The mitral valve complex consists of the mitral annulus, mitral valve leaflets, the chordae tendineae and the papillary muscles. The mitral leaflets are the anterior and posterior leaflets. The post Anatomy of the Mitral Valve appeared first on All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders.

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.

Mitral and Aortic Regurgitation on Colour Doppler Echo

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Here, this is the forward flow through the mitral valve in diastole in red. Area of the jet corresponding to the receiving chamber, that is left atrium, that is also deciding factor in assessing the severity of mitral regurgitation. Here you can see an MR jet. That is, flow away from the transducer is depicted as blue.

Assessment of LV Diastolic Function by Echo in SR and AF

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Though there are several parameters for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography, the most commonly used are the pulsed Doppler mitral E/A ratio and tissue Doppler mitral E/e’ ratio. Doppler interrogation of mitral valve is usually done from the apex through the apical four chamber view.

M-Mode Echocardiogram in Left Ventricular Dysfunction

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Here, this is the forward flow through the mitral valve in diastole in red. Area of the jet corresponding to the receiving chamber, that is left atrium, that is also deciding factor in assessing the severity of mitral regurgitation. Here you can see an MR jet. That is, flow away from the transducer is depicted as blue.
