Abstract:
:We have described the clinical, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic features of torn aortic cusps with mitral valve fenestration in a patient with infective endocarditis. Hemodynamic studies showed left atrial pressure intermittently exceeding left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. This phenomenon corresponded with intermittent premature mitral valve closure, which may serve as a marker for M-mode echocardiographic diagnosis in combined severe acute aortic and mitral regurgitation.
