About Video

In this video the anterior mitral valve leaflet is well seen. The posterior mitral valve leaflet is not well recorded but it moves in opposite direction to the anterior leaflet. The B point is not recorded normally. It becomes prominent when the left-sided filling pressure is increased or when there is first-degree AV block with prolonged PR interval as in this patient (arrows). IVS: interventricular septum; PW: posterior (inferolateral) LV wall.
