MR Flashcards
What are 4 etiologies of MR?
- primary valve disease like MVP, rheumatic, endocarditis, Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration
- pap muscle dysfunction
-chordal tendineae rupture
-annulus dilation/ calcification
Another name for MVP IS?
Barlows disease
What 2 pathophysiology things occur with MR?
- LA dilation /overload
-LV dilation/ overload
What murmur is associated with MR?
Holosystolic murmur that radiates to axilla
What physical signs are seen with MR?
-CHF symptoms
- PHTN/ w longstanding Mr
- Holosystolic murmur that radiates to axilla
What 4 echo signs are seen with MR on echo?
- LAE
-LV dilation - LV hypercontracility
- Mitral abnormalities like MVP, rheumatic, MAC, myxomatous leafelets
What are some mitral abnormalities?
-MVP
-MAC
-Rheumatic disease
-Myxomatous leaflets
What are Myxomatous leaflets?
A valve disease associated with many other disease like MVP and rheumatic disease. It causes thick MV leaflets that can affect the chordae tendineae causing loss of leaflet integrity
What I the narrowest part of a MR jet?
Vena contracta
What is the severe measurement of a vena contracts to indicate severe MR?
> or equal to 0.7cm
What are the 4 parts of a MR jet?
- Zone of convergence
2 Vena contracta - jet size (turbulence)
4 Downstream effect (pulm vein reversal flow)
What 3 things will you see on Doppler with MR?
- systolic turbulence in LA
- Conda effect
- MV inflow of >1.5 m/sec with mod-severe MR
A MV inflow of ____ m/sec may indicate mod-serve MR in the absence of _____
> 1.5m/sec
MS
What is called when: Eccentric jets adhere to LA walls causing the jet to look smaller resulting in underestimation
Conda effect
What’s the Conda effect?
When Eccentric jets adhere to LA walls causing the jet to look smaller resulting in underestimation
True or false- the Conda effect causes overestimation of MR jet
False. It causes underestimation
What is JA/LAA stand for?
Jet area / Left atrial area
How do you acquire the JA/LAA?
From AP4 & AP2
What should the color scale nyquist limit be set at when measuring JA/LAA?
50-60cm/s
What’s the mild JA/LAA?
<20%
What’s the serve JA/LAA ?
> 40%
What’s the moderate JA/LAA?
21-39%
Pulmonary vein flow reversal indicates?
Severe MR
What is the greatest source of error in measuring PISA?
Radius of the flow convergence
