3 Ischaemic mitral regurgitation

4 Carpentier s functional classification TYPE I : NORMAL LEAFLET MOTION - Annular dilatation - Leaflet perforation TYPE II : EXCESSIVE LEAFLET MOTION - Prolapse - Flail TYPE III : REDUCED LEAFLET MOTION - SYSTOLE AND DIASTOLE: Chordae shortening, leaflet thickening - SYSTOLE: Incomplete coaptation

5 What should we assess? Mechanism(s) Quantified severity of MR Dynamic component Myocardial state Dyssynchrony Markers of MV repair failure

6 Secondary MR Tethering force PMs displacement Dilation/Sphericity Annular dilation Closing force Reduced contractility Asynchrony PMs dyssynchrony Reduced annular contraction Global and Local LV Remodeling LV Asynchrony Mitral valve deformation

7 If tethering is normal, MR develops only when mitral annulus area is 75% above baseline

8 Assessment of tethering forces Postero-lateral angle Systolic tenting area Coaptation distance

14 Physical examination Desjardins et al Am J Med 1996,100,149

15 Degree of regurgitation - Regurgitation area - Vena contracta width - Effective regurgitation orifice area - Regurgitant volume

16 Regurgitant area: should be abandoned Gain Scale

17 Vena contracta width The narrowest portion of the MR jet downstream from the orifice 2 orthogonal planes Zoom to optimize visualization Colour sector as narrow as possible Maximal lateral and temporal resolution # Mild MR : VC < 0.3 cm # Severe MR: VC 0.7 cm

18 Doppler volumetric method Not applicable if significant aortic regurgitation Calculate LVOT stroke volume LVOT SV = LVOT diameter² x x LVO TVI Calculate Mitral Inflow stroke volume MI SV = mitral annulus diameter² x x MI TVI Substract LVOT SV from MI SV = RV Measure MV TVI by continuous-wave Doppler ERO = MV Reg V / MR TVI

19 PISA Method 1. Optimize 2-D colour (AP-4CV) 2. Zoom or RES 3. Colour-flow baseline shift downwards to increase PISA (15-40 cm/s) 4. Measure PISA radius at mid systole using the first aliasing 5. Measure MR peak velocity and TVI ( CW Doppler ) 6. Calculate mitral flow rate, ERO and RV

20 Variance OFF

21 Effective regurgitant orifice and regurgitant volume Flow rate at PISA = Flow rate at regurgitant orifice 2 r² x Aliasing velocity = ERO x MR velocity ERO = 6.28 r² x Alia vel / MR vel Reg Vol = ERO x MR TVI

22 Limitations of the PISA method Isovelocity surface not always a hemisphere Contour flattening of the orifice Underestimation Va /Vmax > 10 % (if high Va) ----> ideal Va cm/s Phasic changes

24 Echocardiographic criteria for the definition of severe valve regurgitation: an integrative approach Aortic regurgitation Mitral regurgitation Tricuspid regurgitation Semiquantitative Vena contracta width (mm) > 6 7 (> 8 for biplane) 7 Upstream vein flow Inflow Other Pressure half-time < 200 ms Systolic pulmonary vein flow reversal E-wave dominant 1.5 m/s TVI mitral/tvi aortic > 1.4 Quantitative Primary Secondary Systolic hepatic vein flow reversal E-wave dominant 1 m/s PISA radius > 9 mm EROA (mm²) R Vol (ml/beat) enlargement of cardiac chambers/ vessels LV LV, LA Adapted from Lancellotti, EAE recommendations.
