Upper figure: transthoracic
evaluation of mitral regurgitation associated with left ventricular
systolic dysfunction (note reduced slope of velocity increase during
isovolumic contraction), and elevated left atrial pressure.
Cuff radial pressure= 90 mmhg
LAPms= 90 - 57.2 = 32,8 mmHg.
Lower figure: transthoracic evaluation of mitral regurgitation
associated with mild reduction of left ventricular systolic function and
increased left atrial pressure.
Cuff radial pressure= 100 mmHg
LAPms= 100 - 67.6 = 32,4 mmHg
