Thickened mitral valve at right parasternal long axis four-chamber view. 2-A: Mild thickening of mitral valve, 2-B: Moderate thickening of mitral valve and prolapse of the anterior leaflet, 2-C: Severe thickening of mitral valve and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) of the anterior leaflet towards left atrium. 

Figure 3

Degree of mitral regurgitation (MR) into left atrium at right parasternal long axis four chamber view using Doppler echocardiography. In 3-A, there is mild mitral regurgitation in to left atrium with mild baseline colour scale is shifted and presence of less than 10% of colour aliasing. In 3-B, there is moderate mitral regurgitation with moderate baseline colour is shifted and presence of 50% of colour aliasing. In 3-C, there is severe mitral regurgitation with severe baseline colour scale is shifted and presence of more than 50% of colour aliasing. Note: Yellow arrows show shades of red indicates the bloods flow towards transducer; Green arrows show shades of blue indicates the blood flow directed away from transducer; White arrows show the presence of colour aliasing). 

Figure 4

Dilation of left atrium (LA) on right parasternal short axis left atrium/aorta (AO) view. A: Mild dilation of left atrium with LA to Aorta ratio of 1.56, B: Moderate dilation of the left atrium with LA:Ao of 2.04 and C: Severe dilation of left atrium with LA:Ao of 2.47. Note that the normal LA:Ao ratio should be <1.3 (Reproduced from Rishniw et al., 2000)
