Echo-of-the-Day Information
The Echo-of-the-Day is a presentation of one to four image or video loops to present an important topic in echocardiography.
Please reveiw the image or video loops and then answer the questions below.
After you have answered the questions you can view the explanation and obtain CME credit (if available).

EOTD Information Table
Title: Moderate or Severe MR?
EOTD#: 140 AMA CME Units: 0.25 Units CME Requirements: Active CME Session and must be a paid, active subscriber to iTEE or advanced TEE AND have enough CME credits in your bank. AMA CME ONLY.
Presentation: A patient present with this echo loop.
Loops:
Discussion Questions:
#1: What is the severity of the MR by the jet area?
#2: The MR jet is a low velocity (no turbulence) jet. Is the severity of the MR jet the same or more given a low velocity regurgitant jet?
Explanation/CME Questions
Explanation: The current SCA guidelines indicate that a MR jet area between 3 and 6 cm2 is a moderate MR jet. There is not mention about the interpretation of the jet velocity except during a continuous wave Doppler scan. If the CWD is high density then the jet is considered a severe MR jet. Since we don't have a CWD scan, this jet is considered moderate by SCA guidelines.
