When A wave is higher than E wave= ________ dysfunction
Diastolic Dysfunction (decreased LV compliance)
True/ False: Larger the Regurgitant Volume, Darker the envelope of MR flow.
True. Density is proportional to the number of blood cells within beam.
What is arrow poiting at in the image shown?
Flail Anterior Leaflet.(can result with disrupted MV apparatus, has eccentric jet on the oppsite side of the flail leaflet, TEE confirms precise location)
What is shown in the image shown?
Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), bowing of the valve into LA During ventricular systole. It can be Bi-leaflet or single.
What are some main factors affecting Regurgitant Jet appearance? Name Two.
Gain, Scale, Frame rate, Sector Size, Transducer, Color flow algorithms, Machine
Name two factors for evaluating severity of MR.
Size of Jet, Volumetric flow by PISA, Effective Regurgitant Orifice, Volume of Regurge flow.
Assessing MR severity, values= mild mod severe. (choose one)
color flow jet, Regurgitant fraction, Regurgitant Volume, ROA
