Fig. 1From: Mitral valvuloplasty with left atrial appendage closure and pacemaker implantation in a dog with severe myxomatous mitral valve degeneration: a case reportTransthoracic echocardiographic imaging before and after mitral valvuloplasty. a Right parasternal long-axis LV inflow view imaging before mitral valvuloplasty. Severe mitral regurgitation was observed. b E wave velocity gained from left parasternal apical four chamber view before mitral valvuloplasty. E wave increased (178 cm/sec) (c) Right parasternal long-axis LV inflow view imaging after mitral valvuloplasty. Mitral regurgitation mostly disappeared (d) E wave velocity gained from left parasternal apical four chamber view after mitral valvuloplasty. E wave decreased significantly compared with before (81.5 cm/sec)Back to article page
