Just another day in the echo lab:
New CASE series @CASEfromASE

"Advanced Arial Functional MR may manifest as secondary mitral leaflet billowing despite absence of degenerative leaflet disease."
@ASE360
@VLSorrellImages@CASEfromASE@ASE360 Interesting! I recently did an extensive literature review on atrial functional MR. However, I haven’t come across the concept of “secondary billowing” as a potential mechanism contributing to the progression of MR. I’ll take that into account!
A very good thinking!
Mayo Clinic Echo Lab now recommends measuring a single highest velocity of aortic valve and LVOT to determine AV gradient and AVA. Hope this will become a part of future VHD guideline @ottoecho
