pulmonary artery pressure tells us what the LA pressure is

So this is another measurement that helps support this severity of mitral stenosis

83

87
Q

How do you determine the maximum velocity (VMAX) for MVA with MV pressure halftime?

A

Draw a line at the end diastolic slope ignoring the a wave and any valve clicks

This slope at the E wave tells us pressure halftime and from this we can get the MVA

88
Q

How do you calculate the MVA with the of MV pressure halftime?

A

You take 220 divided by your MV PHT that you got by measuring the E wave slope

89

With MV PHT - we are measuring just the E wave and are NOT going all the way down to the baseline

With MV Decel time - we measured at the end all the way down to the baseline

91
Q

With MV decel time we’re measuring from?

A

The E wave down to the baseline

92
Q

With mitral valve pressure halftime, we are measuring from?

Just the E wave (DO NOT GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BASELINE)

93
Q

What mitral valve measurement measures only the peak early diastolic slope?
