Pressure
A condition that creates an increased diastolic pressure gradient between the left atrium and left ventricle
What is mitral stenosis?
A valvular abnormality that significantly increases the risk of left atrial thrombus
What is mitral stenosis?
The effect on the color jet area when decreasing the color scale
What is increased?
A condition that may cause diastolic doming of the tricuspid leaflets
What is tricuspid stenosis?
The mitral valve area below which mitral stenosis is considered to be severe
What is 1.5 square centimeters?
A condition that may create a large left atrial "v" wave
What is mitral regurgitation?
A complication of mitral stenosis that will cause a fever
What is infective endocarditis?
Another name for the PISA method of assessing the severity of mitral regurgitation
What is flow convergence method?
A condition that enlarges the RV and RA, and flattens the interventricular septum at end-diastole
What is tricuspid regurgitation?
The mean pressure gradient that is considered a cutoff value for significant tricuspid stenosis
What is 5 mm Hg?
A condition that may cause a restrictive mitral inflow pattern
What is severe mitral regurgitation?
A complication of both mitral stenosis and regurgitation that will cause end-systolic flattening of the interventricular septum
What is pulmonary hypertension?
The Nyquist limit range that should be used when assessing MR with color Doppler
What is 50-70 cm/sec?
A mitral valve leaflet that fails to coapt with the other leaflet during systole
What is flail?
The color jet area/left atrial area above which mitral regurgitation is considered to be severe
What is 0.5?
A condition that involves a peak pressure gradient across the pulmonic valve of greater than 64 mm Hg
What is severe pulmonic stenosis?
A rare complication of mitral valve prolapse that will typically cause severe mitral regurgitation

The posterior movement of the mitral valve at least 2 mm beyond the level of the annulus
What is prolapse?
The PISA radius at which mitral regurgitation is considered to be severe

A condition that may involve premature opening of the pulmonic valve in systole
What is pulmonic regurgitation?
The two words to describe the appearance of the left ventricle in the presence of compensated severe MR
What are dilated and hyperkinetic?
The ratio used to assess the severity of pulmonic regurgitation using color Doppler
What is vena contracta width/PV annular diameter?
The M-mode finding with mitral stenosis that can also be caused by a decrease in cardiac output
What is reduced E-F slope?
The regurgitant volume at which mitral regurgitation is considered to be severe
What is 60 mL?
