Mitral Stenosis
Mitral Stenosis is the result of narrowing of the valve orifice causing obstruction or restriction of blood flow resulting in an increased flow velocity and pressure gradient across the valve. This change causes...

Aortic Stenosis
Aortic Stenosis (AS) is the result of narrowing of the valve orifice causing obstruction or restriction of blood flow resulting in an increased flow velocity and pressure gradient across the valve. ETIOLOGIES: 1. Calcification (age-related or acquired):...

Aortic Insufficiency
Aortic Insufficiiency (or regurgitation, incompetence, "leaky valve"), occurs when the leaflets do not close completely in diastole, letting blood leak backward across the valve. This could include the presence of acute or chronic...

Mitral Regurgitation
Mitral Regurgitation (MR) is the backward flow of blood into the left atrium during ventricular systole causing an increased in LA pressure (can be acute or chronic). ETIOLOGIES: 1. Mitral Annulus Pathology...
