Which view is the best view for diagnosing mitral valve prolapse?apical 3 Severe mitral stenosis creates a pressure overload of the right heart, resulting in:right ventricular hypertrophy right ventricular enlargement "D" sign on the short axis A patient with AI has an initial peak velocity of 5 m/s and an end diastolic velocity of 3 m/s. Blood pressure is 130/60. Calculate this patient's LVEDP.24 mmHg After birth, the ductus venosus becomes the:ligamentum venosum What is the "Gold...
