@ErinMichos@RRBaligaMD@HopkinsMedicine@YouTube Hi Dr Erin, is diastolic dysfunction a prerequisite to diagnose HFpEF in patient who clinically has heart failure? Thank you for your time
In MS: exercise (@ increase HR)will, increase the βsteep slopeβ of the mitral inflow spectral Doppler - hence:
- increase (reveal true) PG
-however, will falsely overestimate MVA (making the MS less severe
But the MVA is not really as important as the MPG
Mitral stenosis: Our conclusion is that while the pressure half time method progressively overestimates mitral valve area with increasing heart rate exceeding 80 beats/min

Still time to register. #AAE#echofirst@ASE360
@EchoStudent@JaeKOh2@ASE360@MayoClinicCV I mainly use the indexed biplane Simpson's LV volumes for determining LV size but also consider the indexed LVEDD - esp. in females as indexed LV volumes seem too low.
@BonitaEcho@JaeKOh2@ASE360@MayoClinicCV Hi @BonitaEcho may I ask, which parameter do we use when deciding if the LV is dilated?
- do we use LVED volume index (from Simpson biplane), or LVEDD index?
sorry to disturb you, seems like no one else care to help me π₯
