Effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse
Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...
متن کاملUse of echocardiography in patients with prolapsed mitral valve.
The echocardiographic findings are described for five patients who had the prolapsed mitral valve syndrome, proven by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography. In all five patients, the echocardiograms demonstrated posterior displacement of the posterior mitral leaflet during systole. In four of the patients there was also posterior displacement of the anterior leaflet. Four of the five pa...
متن کاملMITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE The relationship of mitral annular shape to the diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse
The geometric or anatomic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse, as opposed to the pathologic diagnosis of myxomatous valve disease, is based on the relationship of the mitral leaflets to the surrounding anulus. Current echocardiographic criteria for this diagnosis include leaflet displacement above the annular hinge points in any two-dimensional view; implicit in this equivalent use of intersecti...
متن کاملThromboembolic studies in the patient with the prolapsed mitral valve. Has Salome dropped another veil?
THE PROLAPSED MITRAL VALVE, or clickmurmur syndrome, continues to evoke interest, concern and controversy. Although the midsystolic click and late systolic murmur were well described in the late 19th century,1 it was not until 1961 that Reid2 suggested the mitral valve as the cause of the click and mitral insufficiency as the cause of the murmur. This was confirmed by angiocardiography and phon...
