ClinicalMitral valve B-bump by US.M-mode
Definition
B-bump formation of the mitral valve can be seen in Mmode echocardiograms as a small flat peak or "bump" between the A and C points, and is indicative of elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. It is a typical finding in patients with severe systolic left ventricular dysfunction. [PMID: 15159031]
