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.

We did a bedside cardiac ultrasound. The structure at the bottom that is moving is the mitral valve, with anterior and posterior leaflets. The ECG and ultrasound could not have been differentiated from acute plaque rupture with occlusion of the RCA. 3 points gets you an MI by Sgarbossa. This is as clear a STEMI as you can get.

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. 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. Hence a basic knowledge is needed for all physicians and paramedics.

My opinion was that it was not a cath lab case, but I did suggest they do a bedside ultrasound to look for an anterior wall motion abnormality. I had not seen the cardiac ultrasounds at this time. I did not have more information at the time. To the ED providers, the patient denied CP, SOB, or drug use.

In the ED, ultrasound showed hemopericardium with tamponade.

During medical school, one of the classic bedside exam questions we get is how to differentiate the valve issues of aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, which produce similar but different murmurs when you listen with a stethoscope. “How can you tell the difference between aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation at the bedside?”

He had diffuse crackles on exam and B-lines on chest ultrasound, and chest x-ray also confirmed pulmonary edema. Of course, papillary muscle rupture and mitral regurgitation should be on the differential here, as in this case , but it is not very likely when the BP is so high. Blood pressure was 215/124 and HR 115 (on metoprolol).

For example, the mitral valve can be repaired with a catheter-based system. With the patient under general anesthesia, the device is delivered to the heart through a catheter, starting in the groin and guided by X-ray and ultrasound. The new system is designed specifically for the tricuspid valve’s position, location and shape.

I suspect pulmonary edema, but we are not given information on presence of B-lines on bedside ultrasound, or CXR findings. The scan showed a bicuspid aortic valve with severe stenosis and coronary artery disease. Or I suspect that there is OMI simultaneous with another pathology. We certainly know that there is hypoxia.
