Patient 4. A-C: HFR echoPIV shows an AI jet having a perpendicular course to the ultrasound beam, making it harder to assess with colour Doppler. A local counter-clockwise vortex formed under the mitral valve (C:1) and another clockwise vortex formed in the mid-LV (C:2), leading to recirculation of blood from the AI and mitral inflow high-velocity AI jet limiting the mitral inflow (white arrow); D-E: PW mitral inflow, interference with the AI; F: AI jet on CW Doppler; G-I: CMR, confirming the AI jet pushing the anterior mitral valve
