Increased mitral valve insufficiency during precordial whoop.
نویسنده
چکیده
A patient with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation presented with shortness of breath and a "noise" in her chest. Cardiac auscultation revealed an intermittent late systolic "whoop." An increase in severity of mitral valve insufficiency during the periods of "whoop" was observed by pulsed Doppler, hemodynamic tracings and left ventriculography.

Using both precordial and transesophageal echocardiography, we studied 72 consecutive patients with a recent unequivocal transient ischemic attack or nondisabling stroke to determioe the relative value of the two techniques for detecting potential intracardiac sources of cerebral emboli. Group 1 (n=53) patients had no clinical abnormalities, and group 2 (n=19) patients had abnormal cardiac find...

To determine the echocardiographic and Doppler characteristics of mitral regurgitation associated with a flail mitral valve, precordial and transesophageal echocardiography with pulsed wave and Doppler color flow mapping was performed in 17 patients with a flail mitral valve leaflet due to ruptured chordae tendineae (Group I) and 22 patients with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation due to o...

Mitral valve repair provides substantial advantages over mitral valve replacement in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. However, because of the possibility of persistent regurgitation, an intraoperative technique is needed to provide an immediate and accurate assessment of the adequacy of the repair before closure of the chest. One hundred patients with pure mitral regurgitation were st...

This report describes a patient with a Björk-Shiley mitral valve prosthesis in whom transoesophageal cross sectional echocardiography revealed a large vascularised mass within the left atrial appendage with smoke-like opacification of blood flow in the left atrium. Transoesophageal cross sectional echocardiography gave a detailed image of the lesion which was unobtainable with precordial cross ...
