Echo quiz Discussion IVS (interventricular septum) is hypertrophied and bulges into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), narrowing it. Gradient across the LVOT is increased to 26 mm
Mitral valve area by planimetry on echocardiogram Mitral valve area by planimetry on echocardiogram is usually obtained from the parasternal short axis view. It can also be obtained
LVOT gradient in HOCM – Doppler echocardiogram Left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOT) in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is usually measured from the apical five chamber view (apical
Mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation – echocardiogram Echocardiogram in apical four chamber view demonstrates prolapse of both anterior and posterior mitral leaflets. The central part of the leaflets
M-mode echocardiogram in left ventricular dysfunction M-mode echocardiogram is commonly used to measure left ventricular dimensions and ejection fraction. Ejection fraction is indicative of the left ventricular systolic
Mitral E/E’ for assessment of left ventricular diastolic function E/E’ measured using a combination of mitral flow Doppler and tissue Doppler of mitral annulus is an important measure
Doppler echocardiography in aortic stenosis AV Vmax: peak aortic velocity; AV Vmean: mean aortic velocity; AV maxPG: peak aortic gradient; AV mean PG: mean aortic gradient; AV VTI:
M-mode echocardiogram of aorta and left atrium M-mode echocardiogram at aorta-left atrium level showing the movements of aortic walls (anterior and posterior) and aortic valve opening and closing
Types of aortic regurgitation (AR) based on mechanism Following are the types of aortic regurgitation based on the mechanism: Type 1: Normal valve cusps with incomplete coaptation due
Split screen echocardiographic image in parasternal long axis view showing aortic regurgitation jet Left panel shows 2-D (two dimensional) image in earl diastole indicated by the mitral leaflets
