Systolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure Thresholds Predictive of Dyspnea on Stress Doppler Echocardiography in Mitral Stenosis

Saléha Lehachi, Fadila Daïmellah, Saïda Khelil, Zakia Bennoui et autres

Background: On Stress Doppler Echocardiography (SDE) in mitral stenosis, the systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) threshold at peak exercise recommended by the guidelines as an indication for percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) used to be 60 mmHg. However, because of the paucity of …

Left Atrium Strain and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Patients Hospitalized for STEMI

H. Kalkoul, Saléha Lehachi, Mohamed Chettibi

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is a well-established marker for risk stratification of patients with acute myocardial infraction (MI). However, most of the diastolic parameters that were previously assessed were affected by acute hemodynamic changes. The left atrium (LA) strain has been …

Prominent Eustachian Valve Complicated by Thrombus

H. Kalkoul, Saléha Lehachi, Mohamed Chettibi

The Eustachian valve is an embryological remnant of the valve of the inferior vena cava. It may be prominent in some individuals, but the echocardiographic appearance of a divided right atrium (RA) as a result of a large Eustachian valve is rare. …
