Notched P wave in lead II with the first peak taller than the second, indicates biatrial enlargement and has been called 'P tricuspidale'

Cardiology MCQ: a and v waves in atrial pressure tracings: vFalse statement regarding 'a' and 'v' waves in atrial pressure tracing: a) Right atrial 'a' wave is taller than

X-ray chest PA view showing a prosthetic TTK Chitra aortic valve within the lower portion of the cardiac silhouette overlapping the spine.

P mitrale is the wide and notched P wave of left atrial overload (left atrial abnormality), typically seen in lead II in mitral stenosis.

Conventionally, aortic stenosis has been classified into mild (peak gradient up to 50 mm Hg), moderate (peak gradient between 50 - 75 mm Hg) and severe, with

Mitral inflow E/E' ratio determined by Doppler echocardiogram is an important indicator of left ventricular diastolic function.

Semiquantitative grading of the degree of mitral regurgitation can by assessing the colour Doppler jet of mitral regurgitation in the left atrium.

Transmitral Doppler tracing from apical four chamber view showing varying degrees of fusion of mitral E and A waves. E/A reversal is also evident in the later three

Doppler derived pressure half time method of estimating mitral valve area is better than planimetry in those who have undergone mitral commissurotomy.

If the left circumflex coronary artery crosses the crux of the heart (junction of interventricular and interatrial grooves posteriorly) to the opposite side, it is known as the
