Posterior leaflet motion in mitral stenosis. 1977

S P Glasser, and J V Faris

The echocardiographic features of mitral valvular motion in a patient with classic rheumatic mitral stenosis are presented. Two unusual features were noted, and the important of careful echocardiographic scanning of the mitral valve is imphasized. The theories for the classic echocardiographic abnormalities of mitral stenosis are briefly considered in light of the findings in this case.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
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.

D004452 Echocardiography Ultrasonic recording of the size, motion, and composition of the heart and surrounding tissues. The standard approach is transthoracic.
