Spontaneous Rupture Of A Papillary Muscle
Transthoracic echocardiography apical view shows the mutilated posteromedial papillary muscle with flail anterior mitral leaflet and hyperkinetic left ventricular walls. (Rupture was spontaneous - without...
Bicuspid Aortic Valve, Aneurysm, Dissection,...
TTE multiple views shows: bicuspid aortic valve (with mild eccentric aortic regurgitation), aneurysm of the ascending aorta with type A dissection, coarctation of the aorta and large atrial septal aneurysm....
Pericardial Hematoma Early After Open Heart Surgery
Early after open heart surgery (CABG), in intensive care unit patient was hypotensive, had sinus tachycardia, jugular vein distension and anemia. Urgent TEE was done and showed large localized pericardial...
Double-Chambered Right Ventricle (DCRV) And Large...
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a form of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It typically presents in childhood or adolescence. It is a form of right ventricular (RV) outflow tract...
Double Fibromuscular Band In The Left Ventricle...
Transthoracic echocardiography parasternal long axis and apical views show double fibromuscular band in the left ventricle between the interventricular septum and the apical region of the posterolateral...
Pulmonary Stenosis: 2D Echo (With Zooming)
Pulmonary stenosis is a congenital defect that occurs due to abnormal development of the fetal heart during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. Problems with the pulmonary valve make it harder for the leaflets...
Severe Pulmonary Stenosis: continuous wave doppler...
Parasternal short axis view with continuous wave doppler recording demonstrates the severe pulmonary stenosis (high systolic velocities jet across the pulmonary valve). Video by Maged Al Ali MD.
Severe Pulmonary Stenosis, Right Ventricular...
Different TTE views show severe pulmonary stenosis with right ventricular hypertrophy and right to left shunt through a small perimembranous ventricular septal defect. Video by Maged Al Ali MD.
Concentric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Echocardiography shows concentric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mild "SAM"(systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve), without subaortic obstruction. Video by Maged Al Ali MD.
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM)
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) - septal hypertrophy, systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (SAM), subaortic obstruction and moderate mitral regurgitation (with left atrial dilatation...
Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve Vegetation With Obstruction...
Multiple transthoracic echocardiography views with color and continuous wave doppler recordings show infective endocarditis - large vegetation on bioprosthetic mitral valve with obstruction and dehiscence...
Common Atrium
Common atrium - absence of the interatrial septum with common atrioventricular valve and 2 atrioventricular orifices. Apical view. Video by Maged Al Ali.
Myocardial Infarction, Pericardial Effusion With...
It is often difficult to have direct visualisation of free wall rupture by echo in myocardial infarction. Pericardial effusion (especially more than 10 mm and with thrombus) is very helpful indirect sign...
Subaortic Membrane And Mild Aortic Regurgitation
Transthoracic echocardiography parasternal long axis and apical views with continuous wave doppler recording shows subaortic membrane with subaortic systolic gradient (stenosis) and mild aortic regurgitation.
LV Localized Hypertrophy, Flail Anterior Leaflet...
Left ventricular localized hypertrophy on the posterolateral wall (and beneath the posterior mitral leaflet), flail anterior leaflet with severe excentric mitral regurgitation. Left atrial and left ventricular...
