What does this TEE with CW Doppler across mitral valve show? What are the most likely causes? #EchoHemodynamics1) Diastolic MR. The mechanism is due to a reversal in the AV gradient during diastole, ie a positive ventricular-to-atrial pressure gradient occurring during diastole. It typically occurs in mid to late diastole.
