Figure 4 Echocardiogram showing mitral regurgitation with vegetations and pericardial effusion. (A) Dilated left atrium and eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 69.9%. (B) Severe mitral regurgitation due to a flail anterior mitral leaflet (AML) with an oscillating mass on the AML. (C) Oscillating mass (+) on the AML measuring 1.2 × 0.3 cm. (D) Left ventricle (LV) showing a D-shape during systole and diastole. The LV was globally normokinetic. Loculated pericardial effusion was visible posterior to the LV. (E) A mass was present in the right ventricular outflow tract, suspected to be vegetation, pedunculated, measuring 1.3 × 0.6 cm. The main pulmonary artery was dilated. (F) Moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR), TR vena contracta 0.3 cm, TR Vmax 2.4 m/s, MaxPG 23 mm Hg.
