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. It forms almost like a box or rhomboid shape.
Usual colour Doppler echocardiogram is superimposition of colour Doppler images on a two dimensional echocardiogram. Colour M-Mode is superimposition of colour Doppler images on an M-Mode echocardiogram. Stenosis of the valves can be made out by the reduced opening at the time when it is supposed to be open.
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. When there is associated mitral stenosis, the colour Doppler jet of mitral flow merges with that of aortic regurgitation in the left ventricle as both occur in diastole.
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. Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis. Wall motion of the left ventricle can be assessed in this view also.
