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.

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.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The post ectopic increase in the murmur is a hallmark of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, which differentiates it clinically from mitral valve prolapse. Echocardiography in HCM Important echocardiographic features include mitral regurgitation and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
