Here's another mitral valve (MV) that doesn't open properly. However, the problem this time is downstream - this patient has prolapse of the aortic valve (AV), causing a severe leak back onto the mitral valve, pinning it partially shut. #EchoFirst EchoTalk Echocardiography Echocardiography

Abnormal thickening of the muscle in the middle of the heart (the 'septum') is characteristic of 'hypertrophic cardiomyopathy'. This condition does not always cause symptoms, but it is associated with dangerous heart rhythms, and is an important ultrasound diagnosis. #echofirst

We use this annotated diagram of the heart to explain scan results to our patients. #echofirst EchoTalk Echocardiography Echocardiography British Heart Foundation BSEcho

The aortic valve can collect calcium over time, like limescale in a kettle. If this stiffens the valve and prevents it opening fully, we call this 'stenosis'. Here is a normal aortic valve (from two angles) versus a case of aortic stenosis: #echofirst Echocardiography Heart Valve Voice

Every week in the UK at least 12 fit & healthy young people, die suddenly from undiagnosed cardiac conditions. CRY works to reduce this number through screening and research whilst offering support to those who have been affected by a YSCD #12AWeek #RaisingAwareness #12AWeek

Looks severe, but is it? BSA: 2.1msq AV Vmax: 3.1m/s Mean PG: 23mmHg Dimensionless index: 0.27 AVA (indexed): 0.59cmsq/msq Stroke volume (indexed): 38ml/msq #echofirst Echocardiography EchoTalk Echocardiography Vladyslav Kavalerchyk 🇺🇦 Echocardiography Katherine Collins MSc FBSE Echo Research and Practice

Great to see BBC Morning Live raising awareness of aortic stenosis. In this video, narrowing of this patient's aortic valve was causing unpleasant shortness of breath, and would have become dangerous if left untreated. #aorticstenosis Michelle Ackerley Geth Dr Xand van Tulleken 🏳️‍🌈

How many people use MV flow propagation velocity (Vp) routinely? The data suggest it's preload independent and a marker of diastolic dysfunction in AF. We use a cut-off of Vp <45cm/s to suggest impaired LV relaxation. #echofirst EchoTalk Echocardiography Echocardiography Echocardiography Katherine Collins MSc FBSE
