ABSTRACT
Cardiac sonographers often perceive premature beats as a limiting factor during echocardiography because they alter filling and contractility, and loops recorded during or after a premature contraction are often discarded. Here we present 2 cases in which the incidental occurrence of premature beats on Doppler echocardiography contributed to the diagnosis. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).
AS, aortic stenosis; Doppler ultrasound; LV, left ventricular; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract; MVA, mitral valve area; PHT, pressure half-time; PSVC, premature supraventricular complex; PVC, premature ventricular complex; aortic valve; echocardiography; mitral valve; supraventricular arrhythmias; ventricular arrythmias
