Merchant M-mode features of AR include the following. o Diastolic flutter of the mitral valve (can be both anterior and posterior mitral valve leaftlet) o Diastolic flutter of the aortic valve o Premature closure of the mitral valve (severe AR) o Premature opening of the aortic valve (severe elevated LV end-diastolic pressure) o Diastolic LV septal fluttering o LV volume overload (hyperkinesis of the LV walls LV dilation) o LVESD (>55mm indicates poorer surgical outcome) An Overview of Heart Disease By : Simone Butler Heart disease is one of the most serious health problems of our times. What are the warning signs, and how can you reduce your risk? Aortic Regurgitation Causes By : Dr. D.S. Merchant • Electrocardiography findings can reveal of the following, although they are not an accurate predictor of the severity of AR. o LV hypertrophy o Left axis deviation o Left atrial enlargement o LV volume overload pattern (prominent Q waves in leads I, aVL, and V3 to V6 and relatively small R waves in V1 o LV conduction defect (late in disease process) Aortic Regurgitation By : Dr. D.S.

Thus, patients develop pulmonary congestion associated with LV failure and, possibly cardiogenic shocks. Advanced Lipoprotein Fingerprinting By : Dr. D.S.
