Demonstration of mitral valve function by cine computed tomography using a new long axis view. 1986

M R Rees, and R M MacMillan, and M Lopez, and E Rodriguez, and S S Yang, and V Maranhao, and D L Clark, and B Fender

Comparison was made between contrast enhanced cine computed tomography (Cine/CT) and echocardiography in the imaging of the mitral valve in 14 patients. The mitral valve was seen in all 14 patients by Cine/CT using a new long axis view. There was agreement with echocardiography in 12 patients. Abnormalities in mitral valve movement were detected by Cine/CT. Left atrial size and contraction was measured by Cine/CT with a difference in left atrial ejection fraction observed between 13 patients with no evidence of mitral disease and 3 patients with mitral disease.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008943 Mitral Valve The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Bicuspid Valve,Bicuspid Valves,Mitral Valves,Valve, Bicuspid,Valve, Mitral,Valves, Bicuspid,Valves, Mitral
D008944 Mitral Valve Insufficiency Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation. Mitral Incompetence,Mitral Regurgitation,Mitral Valve Incompetence,Mitral Insufficiency,Mitral Valve Regurgitation,Incompetence, Mitral,Incompetence, Mitral Valve,Insufficiency, Mitral,Insufficiency, Mitral Valve,Regurgitation, Mitral,Regurgitation, Mitral Valve,Valve Incompetence, Mitral,Valve Insufficiency, Mitral,Valve Regurgitation, Mitral
D008946 Mitral Valve Stenosis Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.
