Echocardiographic Assessment of Patient Prosthesis Mismatch

#Patient_Prosthesis_Mismatch #Aortic_Patient_Prosthesis_Mismatch #Mitral_Patient_Prosthesis_Mismatch Description at: https://johnsonfrancis.org/profession... Discussion on echocardiographic assessment of patient-prosthesis mismatch. Patient-prosthesis mismatch is present when the effective prosthetic valve area is less than that of the normal human valve. The reduction in valve area is usually mild to moderate and may not be off immediate clinical significance. Occasionally, it can be severe, and patients may be hemodynamically and symptomatically worse after valve replacement.
