Diastolic Mitral Regurgitation in Intact Mitral Valve Detected by Color Doppler Echocardiography in a Patient with Acute Aortic Regurgitation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 38-year-old man was admitted with coingestive heart failure due to infective endocarditis. Echocardiography with color Doppler imaging revealed severe aortic regurgitation, mitral valve premature closure and diastolic mitral regurgitation. The flow of the diastolic mitral regurgitation was directed to the posterior wall of the left atrium through just behind the posterior mitral leaflet. The diastolic mitral regurgitation was observed only in the period of late diastole and no mitral regurgitation could be detected in the systolic phase. After successful aortic valve replacement, the diastolic mitral regurgitation disappeared completely.

Assessment of pulsed Doppler echocardiography in detection and quantification of aortic and mitral regurgitation.
Pulsed Doppler echocardiography was employed to detect disturbed or turbulent flow diagnostic of aortic or mitral regurgitation. Sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, and predictive value were assessed by the independent interpretation and comparison of aortic root angiograms (91 patients) and left ventriculograms (94 patients) to the time interval histogram display of the pulsed Doppl...

To determine the value of transesophageal ultrasound in the assessment of cardiac valve prostheses, 14 patients with clinically suspected mitral prosthesis malfunction were studied by transthoracic and transesophageal two-dimensional imaging as well as by color Doppler flow velocity mapping (color Doppler). Patients underwent left ventricular angiography (n = 13), surgery (n =11), or both angio...

Background and Aim: Cardiovascular disorders are the most common cause of premature deaths in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study dealt with echocardiographical findings in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and Methods: Forty patients with established diagnosis of RA for more than five years, who lacked any known cardiovascular and brain symptoms, were enrolle...
متن کاملPulsed Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of valvular regurgitation in patients with mitral valve prolapse: comparison with normal subjects.
Pulsed Doppler echocardiography was used to determine prospectively the prevalence of mitral, aortic, tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation in 80 consecutive patients with mitral valve prolapse and 85 normal subjects with similar age and sex distribution. Mitral valve prolapse was defined by posterior systolic displacement of the mitral valve on M-mode echocardiography of 3 mm or more (40 patie...
متن کاملMeasurement of aortic regurgitation by Doppler echocardiography.
In an attempt to develop a new approach to the non-invasive measurement of aortic regurgitation, transmitral volumetric flow (MF) and left ventricular total stroke volume (SV) were measured by Doppler and cross sectional echocardiography in 23 patients without aortic valve disease (group A) and in 26 patients with aortic regurgitation (group B). The transmitral volumetric flow was obtained by m...
