Serial M-mode echocardiography in severe chronic aortic regurgitation.
Thirteen patients with severe chronic aortic regurgitation (mean age 52.5 years) were studied by serial M-mode echocardiography. When first studied, none had breathlessness caused by left ventricular failure (LVF). Nine of these patients remained asymptomatic over a mean period of 4 years, 3 months (no LVF group); the other four patients developed left ventricular failure with dyspnea after a m...
متن کاملComparison between M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis
Introduction: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the persistence of a normal fetal structure between left pulmonary artery and descending aorta. Persistence of this fetal structure beyond 10 days of life is considered abnormal. In this study we compared M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis of PDA in children at Aliasghar Hospital in Zahedan and Children hospital in Bandar Abbas for...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Severe Aortic Regurgitation with Silent Ascending Aortic Dissection
Classically, ascending aortic dissection (AD) presents as sudden, severe chest pain that is tearing type and radiates to the back. Herein, we present a rare case of severe aortic regurgitation with silent ascending AD, which had no chest pain symptoms. The aortic valve apparatus probably masked this AD; therefore, it was not detected by echocardiography and during the surgery.
متن کاملMyocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling in severe chronic aortic regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Significant symptomatic chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) leads to considerable left ventricular remodeling at the expense of myocyte hypertrophy and extracellular matrix remodeling. The relevance of interstitial fibrosis concentration in these patients is unknown. We analyzed the degree of fibrosis in the left ventricle (LV) in symptomatic patients with AR submitted to surgical trea...
متن کاملA-dip of the aortic valve by M-mode echocardiography.
We present a case with the previously unreported finding of an a-dip in the M-mode tracing of the aortic valve. An a-dip is commonly seen in the M-mode tracing of the pulmonic valve motion, and represents near equalization of pulmonary artery and right ventricular end- -diastolic pressures during atrial contraction. M-mode echocardiography has become an ancillary study to the basic two-dimensio...
