Rheumatic heart disease This lecture will discuss about rheumatic fever, latest diagnostic criteria (Revised by American Heart Association in 2015), and an overview of rheumatic heart disease. Echocardiogram
Vena contracta for quantification of mitral regurgitation Measurement of the Vena Contracta is one of the methods for quantification of mitral regurgitation. Vena contracta is the narrowest region
Doppler jet in mitral stenosis with regurgitation Doppler jet in mitral stenosis with regurgitation: Mitral Doppler interrogation is usually done from the apical four chamber view. Good colour
Mitral regurgitation jet by color Doppler echocardiography. Vena contracta is the narrowest portion of the MR jet at or just beyond the regurgitant orifice. It is an accurate
Multiple mitral regurgitation jets can be quantified by various methods like quantitative Doppler method, quantitative two dimensional method and PISA method applied to each jet separately.
Post ectopic mitral regurgitation Long pause following an ectopic beat can produce a diastolic mitral regurgitation during left ventricular angiography. Abnormal sequence of activation can cause systolic mitral
Heart failure in acute rheumatic fever Heart failure in acute rheumatic fever is generally due to acute valvular regurgitations, mostly mitral regurgitation. Even though rheumatic fever causes pancarditis
