Q

What is the cine function in 3Mensio? Why is it useful?

A

To play multiphase Cine loop. Plays all phases.

Q

What causes functional (secondary) MR? How does this affect the dimensional variability of the mitral annulus?

A

Abnormality/disease of the LV or LA
Dilated LV -Weak Pap muscles -Ischemic etiology: LV dysfunction/remodeling
Annular dilation -AFib (irregular/rapid heart rate)
Restrictive cardiomyopathy: chambers of heart become stiff, hard for heart to fill.

Q

Q

Anatomical structures used to determine end-systole

A

MV leaflets
Aortic valve leaflets and ventricle
End Systole = Smallest LV cavity, MV closed, AoV usually closed… End-systole is the phase where the Aortic valve first closes, and the Mitral valve is still closed, and LV is contracting

Q

Degenerative (Primary) Mitral Regurgitation (DMR)
