Increased LAP, LAE, A-Fib, Thrombus formation in LAA (dilitation), prone to thrombus formation, spontaneous echo contrast, pHtn
True/ False: Decreased excursion in M-mode is Hallmark of MS.
False. Increased echogenecity of the leaflets is Hallmark of MS.
Mitral Stenosis causes leaflets to open with ________ motion. Anterior leaflet appears as _______ _______ in _________(cardiac cycle).
doming motion, hockey stick, diastole.
Plumonary Congestion, A-fib and LAE is caused by?
MS
What are some possible therapies?
MV replacement, Percutaneous balloon valvotomy (not possible with severe calcification, MS score <8 best candidate)
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)
True/ False: Parachute MV is when all chordae attach to a single papillary muscle.
True.
True/ False: Mitral valve was the first 4 of the cardiac valves to be evaluated with echo.
True. facts
Mitral Valve Dysfunction is a result of abnormal ___________.
