Overview
An echocardiography is a second line investigation that is employed in the diagnosis of patients presenting with palpitations when there is an increased suspicion of structural heart disease.
Echocardiography
- An echocardiography is a second line investigation that is employed in the diagnosis of patients presenting with palpitations when there is an increased suspicion of structural heart disease. [1]
- These include conditions such as,
Mitral Regurgitation with Aortic Regurgitation
- Hyperdynamic left ventricle, mildly dilated (LVIDd = 61 mm), stroke volume = 50 mL.
- Large vegetation on the ventricle side of the aortic cusp (30 × 15 mm).
- Severe aortic regurgitation.
- Dense continuous-wave Doppler signal with a steep slope (pressure half time <150 ms) indicating severe aortic regurgitation.
- Moderate mitral regurgitation.
