MV (Mitral Valve)
Denition for the Mitral Valve
D: end of systolic, immediately before the opening of the Mitral Valve
E: the arterial leaet of the Mitral valve open, it peaks at E
F: lowest point of the initial diastolic closing
A: In atrial systole, blood is propelled through the Mitral orice and the Mitral leaets
reopen the peak of this phase of Mitral valve motion is indicated as A
C: complete closure occurs after the onset of ventricular systole
A-C interval (unit : msec)
The distance between the A point and the C point
Mitral Valve D-E Excursion (unit : cm)
Distance between the onset of the opening of the Mitral valve at D and the maximum
opening of the anterior Mitral valve leaet at E
Mitral Valve D-E Slope (unit : cm/sec)
Automatically calculated from the D-E excursion the rate of change that exists
between two point(D, E)
Mitral Valve E-F Slope (unit : cm/sec)
The rate of change that exists between two point(E, F)
EPSS ( Mitral Valve E Point Septal Separation ) ( unit : cm)
Distance between the Mitral Valve E point and posterior edge of the interventricular septum
at the same point in time

Ao/LA
Aortic Root Diameter (unit:cm) : Ao Root Dia.
The distance between the leading echo of the anterior aortic wall and the leading echo of
the posterior aortic wall at R wave of the electrocardiogram
Aortic Valve Cusp Separation (Ao Cusp Sep.)
The distance between the trailing echo of the anterior aortic valve leaet and the leading
echo of the posterior aortic valve leaet in early diastole
Left Atrial Diameter (unit:cm) : LA Dia.
The distance between the trailing edge of the posterior aortic wall echo and the leading
edge of the posterior left atrial wall echo at the level of aortic wall at the R wave of the
electrocardiogram.
