Figure 1

Rest and Dobutamine echocardiogram following mitral valve repair. Panel A: Top: Two-dimensional echo, apical 4-chamber view: normal coaptation of mitral leaflets; systolic anterior movement (SAM) is absent. Middle: M-Mode echo, mitral valve: normal coaptation of mitral leaflets. Bottom: Two-dimensional echo, PW Doppler in left outflow tract (LVOT):normal peak systolic velocity. Panel B: Top: Two-dimensional echo, apical 4-chamber view: SAM of anterior mitral leaflet is present. Middle: M-Mode echo, mitral valve; SAM is present. Bottom: Two-dimensional echo, PW Doppler in LVOT: elevated peak mid-systolic velocity corresponding to 46 mmHg outflow gradient.
