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.

How do you manage “one & a half”cm² mitral stenosis ?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

NOVEMBER 26, 2024

Right from the days we entered medical schools, severe mitral stenosis was defined by less than 1 cm² MVO by echocardiography. The bottom line is, we should not miss a functionally significant mitral stenosis, strictly adhering to the anatomical 1 cm² cut-off. cm² in recent years ,Many of us are amused, rather confused.

Both atria develop from a combination of the primitive atrium, sinus venous, and pulmonary veins.It However, underlying lesions such as hypertension, mitral valve disease, COPD, ASD, and TR greatly influence the degree of atrial enlargement. But, we rarely dispute it , & ask which atrium dilates more in AF ? Let us see few factors.

Objective A novel artificial intelligence-based phenotyping approach to stratify patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proposed, based on echocardiographic and haemodynamic data. ±15.8 ±15.1 mm Hg, p value: 0.0079).

Normally, the main pulmonary artery segment will be concave and left atrial appendage region also will be not prominent. So that is why we see straightening of left border, typically heard of in mitral stenosis with left atrial enlargement and mild pulmonary hypertension. Those are not very clear in this picture.

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

APRIL 8, 2024

Sudden breathlessness at night in those with known heart disease is usually due to collection of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). During day time, when one is walking about, any extra fluid in the body tends to collect in the legs, due to the effect of gravity.

Among these, a fistula between the left anterior descending artery and the pulmonary artery is the rarest variant, comprising about 17% of all coronary artery fistula cases.Case:A 54-year-old male, with a known history of atrial fibrillation and hypertension, presented to our emergency department with non-rotatory dizziness.

We know a small ASD decompresses mitral stenosis, and the combination of ASD and MS, Lutembacher, is a well-known syndrome called Lutembacher. This is to create a small regulatory orifice in the IAS ( A complicated term for a small ASD ) to decompress the LA and reduce pulmonary congestive symptoms. JAMA Cardiol.

When there is ectopy, there is a chance for spurious mitral regurgitation to occur during left ventriculography. 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.

While the first one may radiate to the axilla and base, but usually not into the neck, it does reflect both aortic outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation in patients with a large gradient. On the other hand, the murmur in valvular aortic stenosis does not change substantially or decreases slightly following the Valsalva maneuver.

Low LV filling pressures are due to several etiologies, most commonly due to volume depletion (dehydration or hemorrhage), but also due to other etiologies including, but not limited to: mitral stenosis, pulmonary hypertension (chronic, or due to pulmonary embolism), or poor RV performance.

If a nominal right atrial pressure of 10 mm Hg is added to it, right ventricular pressure and indirectly the pulmonary artery systolic pressure are obtained, in the absence of pulmonary stenosis. The early diastolic pulmonary regurgitation (PR) gradient (peak PR gradient) will give an estimate of mean pulmonary artery pressure.
