Mitral Valve Diagram. A peak velocity 25 msec suggests significant stenosis. Similarly to the leaflets the mitral annulus has both anterior and.
Mitral valve prolapse can result in mitral valve regurgitation which causes blood to flow backward. A pressure half time 130 msec is the single best indicator of prosthetic obstruction. The parasternal two chamber plane p2 passes through the middle of both leaflets along the minor axis of the valve whereas the apical two chamber plane a2 is at an angle to it.

Mitral stenosis is a heart valve disorder that narrows or obstructs the mitral valve opening. Taking into account heart rate is not necessary when assessing trans mitral gradients. It connects the tissue to the left atrium and ventricle. Long axis view of left ventricle.
