Overview
Echocardiography may be helpful in establishing the diagnosis of carditis and monitoring the progress of valve defect present in rheumatic fever.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography may be helpful in establishing the diagnosis of carditis. Valvular involvement resulting in stenosis or regurgitation of mitral valve or aortic valve can be detected by echocardiogram more accurately than cardiac auscultation along with quantifying the degree of insufficiency and ventricular dysfunction.[1][2][3][4] Mitral regurgitation can result in left atrial enlargement. In patients with chronic rheumatic heart disease, echocardiogram helps in tracking the progression of valve stenosis and may help in determining the time for surgical intervention. Increased echodensity of the mitral valve may signify calcification.
To diagnose mitral valve prolapse, the following criteria should be fulfilled:
- Movement of any part of either leaflet more than 2mm behind the annular plane in parasternal long axis view
- Movement of point of co-aptation behind the annular plane in apical 4 chamber view
