M mode in echo is a bliss
Gives a grt temporal resolution
ie.,Relation of structures with respect to time.
At times it's difficult to follow motion of valves in 2D
In this thread let's see about Mitral valve M MODE
A normal mitral valve M mode #echofirst#pocus@pocus_today
E &A are two positive waves due to opening of mitral leaflet
E - Early diastole due to LA LV gradient
A - Late diastole due to atrial contraction
C- closure of Mitral valve
D-End systole / Begining of diastole
F-Diastasis
B-Due to Elevated LVEDP in late diastole
