  9. auto immune like rheumatoid and lupus
  10. age related degenerative changes to leaflets
  11. abnormal leaflet motion due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Q

How does LVE lead to MR?

A

MV annulus is pulled apart and as the LV enlarges, the papillary muscle reorients to best contribute to coaptation of leaflets

Q

What does Functional or Secondary MR mean?

Q

How does ischemia lead to MR?

A

Lack of oxygen to the papillary muscle inhibits its contraction and extension of the chordae to push the leaflets to closed position

Q

In what situations would a MV REPLACEMENT/REPAIR be done?

A

1.symptomatic MR
2. valves in need of obvious abnormality apparatus
3. asymptomatic MR before LVIDs >/= 4cm

16
Q

How is a VALVULOPLASTY done with CATHETER?

A

A mitral valve clip is advanced and deployed into the LV, clipping both leaflets together. This limits the degree of prolapse on closure in systole.

17
Q

How is an ANNULOPLASTY done?

A

An annular ring is sewn into the annulus to tighten it to reduce the degree of MR

18
Q

Anterior directed jet is abnormality of?

A

PML

19
Q

Posterior directed jet is abnormality of?

A

AML or papillary muscle

20
Q

Centrally directed jet is abnormality of?

A

dilated LV or annulus

21
Q

What are the PRIMARY MR FINDINGS?

A
  1. Jet of MR
  2. LV Volume overload pattern
  3. abnormality in mitral apparatus
  4. LAE
22
Q

What are the SECONDARY MR FINDINGS?

A
  1. systolic bowing of IAS towards RA
  2. decreased IVRT due to increased LAP
  3. RVH/PSM/D Shaped LV
23
Q

Name the 2D MR findings

A
  1. Jet of MR
  2. LV volume overload pattern
  3. Abnormality in mitral apparatus
  4. LAE
  5. Systolic bowing of IAS towards RA in 2D A4
    6.RVH/ “D shaped” LV
24
Q

Name the M MODE MR findings

A
  1. LV volume overload pattern
  2. LAE: increased motion of AR due to exaggerated LA filling and emptying
25
Q

Name the 2D FINDINGS FOR MVP

A
  1. benchmark
  2. leaflets demonstrate a distinct buckle back motion
  3. thickened redundant leaflets & chordae
26
Q

What does “benchmark” look like?

A

movement of any part of the anterior or posterior MV leaflets past the annular place

27
Q

In what views can you witness “benchmark”

A

PLAX and A3 only

28
Q

Name the M MODE FINDINGS OF MVP

A
  1. thick redundant leaflets
  2. evidence of one or both leaflets prolapsing in mid - late systole
  3. evidence of one or both leaflets prolapsing throughout systole
  4. flail posterior MV leaflet
  5. false MVP - multiple echo artifact
29

isolated area of calcification

30
Q

How does MAC appear at PLAX?

A

appears as an echogenic nodule

31
Q

How does MAC appear at PSAX?

A

Appears as echogenic hemi elliptical line

32
Q

How does MAC appear at M MODE?

A

Appears as a echogenic hemi elliptical line

33
