Anterolateral (dual blood supply, less prone to ischemic events)
Posteromedial (perfused by RCA)
Plumonary Congestion, A-fib and LAE is caused by?
MS
What am I? A reflection of the rate at which Left atrial and ventricular pressures equilibrate during diastole.
PHT. (220/PHT=MVA) (PHT 220 or greater will give severe MS) (with RCM or IHD PHT may falsely increase due to elevated LVEDP)
Peak Gradient is calc by the bernoulli equation. Mean Gradient is calc from the VTI across the MV as measured with CW doppler. What are the mild - severe values for mean gradient?
Mild 0-5 mmHg, Moderate 5-10mmHg, Severe >10mmHg
True/ False: Parachute MV is when all chordae attach to a single papillary muscle.
True.
What are some possible therapies?
MV replacement, Percutaneous balloon valvotomy (not possible with severe calcification, MS score <8 best candidate)
True/ Flase: Pulmonary Edema & reduced CO are caused by a valve defect and can lead to exertional dyspnea.
True.
Mitral Valve Dysfunction is a result of abnormal ___________.
