Demonstration of the mechanism by which mitral regurgitation mimics aortic stenosis

Abstract: A case of mitral regurgitation simulating aortic stenosis is discussed. Echocardiographic and angiographie evidence is provided demonstrating the mechanism whereby the murmur of mitral regurgitation mimics aortic stenosis. This case offers direct confirmation of the hypothesis that acoustic energy derived from a mitral regurgitant jet may be transmitted to the aorta by impingement of the jet upon the portion of the left atrial wall adjacent to the aortic root.
