Guest: Vidhu Anand, M.B.B.S.
Host: Kyle Klarich, M.D.
In this episode of Mayo Clinic’s “Interviews With the Experts,” Dr. Klarich and Dr. Anand focus on evolving approaches to assessing left ventricular reworking in persistent aortic regurgitation. Dr. Vidhu Anand discusses analysis exhibiting that LV volumes, world longitudinal pressure, and myocardial fibrosis can detect dysfunction sooner than conventional guideline thresholds. Listeners can anticipate to raised perceive the position of multimodality imaging, additional valvular involvement, and sensible steps echocardiographers can take to optimize AR evaluation.
Topics Discussed:
• What imaging markers assist detect early myocardial dysfunction in AR, and the way do they help in danger stratification?
• Guidelines historically deal with LV dimensions and ejection fraction for surgical decision-making in AR. Is there any information that pointers might not be capturing sufferers on the optimum time?
• Is there a task of multimodality imaging in AR?
• What sensible steps can a sonographer or echocardiographer take at present to carry their AR evaluation nearer to what your analysis suggests is perfect?
