Echophonocardiographic evaluation of normal and abnormal prosthetic valve function.

M N Kotler, G S Mintz, B L Segal

    Cardiovascular Clinics
    |January 1, 1983

    Summary

    Echophonocardiography is crucial for diagnosing prosthetic valve malfunction. Two-dimensional echocardiography excels with porcine valves, while M-mode is often sufficient for metallic valves.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Prosthetic valve malfunction requires accurate diagnostic methods.
    • Echophonocardiography combines ultrasound and sound wave analysis for cardiac assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnostic utility of echophonocardiography in prosthetic valve malfunction.
    • To differentiate the roles of two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography for various prosthetic valve types.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of echocardiographic and phonocardiographic findings in prosthetic valves.
    • Comparison of two-dimensional echocardiography versus M-mode echocardiography for porcine and metallic valves.

    Main Results:

    • Two-dimensional echocardiography is superior for evaluating porcine valve heterografts, assessing leaflet motion and differentiating malfunction from left ventricular dysfunction.
    • M-mode echocardiography is often adequate for metallic valves, but artifacts can obscure malfunction.
    • Combined echophonocardiography aids in interval measurements for malfunction prediction.

    Conclusions:

    • Echophonocardiography is essential for diagnosing prosthetic valve issues.
    • Clinicians must understand specific normal and abnormal findings for each prosthetic valve type.
