Temporal resolution
Temporal resolution relates to the duration of time for acquisition of a single frame of a dynamic process, i.e., cine imaging.
Discussion
The concept of temporal resolution is fundamental to cardiac CT and MRI, in which a rapidly beating heart is imaged over the order of milliseconds into mul...

Quadricuspid aortic valve
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cardiac valvular anomaly where the aortic valve has four cusps, instead of the usual three.
Epidemiology
The estimated incidence on necropsy at ~1 in 8,000. While the incidence of QAV on 2D echocardiography has been reported to range between 0.01-0.04%...

Parachute mitral valve
A parachute mitral valve is a valvular congenital abnormality usually identified in infants or young children, though it can present later, in adulthood.
Pathology
Parachute mitral valves occur when all the chordae tendineae are attached to a single papillary muscle origin. Unlike the normal s...

Mitral valve regurgitation
Mitral valve regurgitation, also known as mitral valve insufficiency or mitral valve incompetence, is a valvulopathy that describes leaking of the mitral valve during systole that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
