Evaluation of systolic murmurs by Doppler ultrasonography.
Non-invasive continuous and pulsed wave Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 102 consecutive patients with clinically ill defined systolic murmurs to differentiate between flow murmurs, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, and ventricular septal defect, as well as to assess the severity of aortic stenosis. Diagnoses with the Doppler method were based on velocity, direction, and duration o...
متن کاملEvaluation of ejection murmurs by pulsed Doppler echocardiography.
A common problem is a soft basal ejection murmur in an asymptomatic child with a normal electrocardiogram and chest x-ray films. If the diagnosis is aortic stenosis, there is a need for prophylaxis for subacute bacterial endocarditis and concern about development of calcific aortic stenosis. In 40 consecutive children referred for this differential diagnosis, aortic stenosis was diagnosed in 30...
متن کاملDoppler echocardiography in elderly patients with ejection systolic murmurs.
Thirty-nine elderly patients, mean age 77 years (range 65 to 96), with ejection systolic murmurs were studied to evaluate the functional significance of these murmurs. Subjects were evaluated clinically, by 2-D echocardiography, and by a full Doppler echocardiography study. Good quality Doppler signals were obtained in 35 subjects. Mitral regurgitation was found to be the only significant valvu...
متن کاملEvaluation of Subvalvular Apparatus by 2-D Transthoracic Echocardiography
Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the major contributing factors for heart failure and hospitalization in both nonischemic and ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. The limitation of undersized mitral annuloplasty has been recognized. Recurrent late MR is associated with continued left ventricular (LV) remodeling and enhanced papillary muscle displacement outside posterior ring after mi...
متن کاملSystolic Murmurs in Children
The general practitioner has to deal almost daily in his work with the problem of systolic murmurs. He finds such murmurs often in apparently healthy children during a routine check and is then confronted by the question whether to consider these murmurs as of no importance, or to investigate further. There exists a wide discrepancy among publications on the incidence of systolic murmurs in chi...
