Mini-Abstract We present a 74-year-old man with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency room with shortness of breath and dizziness. A resting electrocardiogram showed 2:1 atrioventricular block with a wide QRS duration and a rhythm of 35 beats/min. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed and color flow Doppler, color M-mode, and continuous-wave Doppler recordings of the transmitral flow revealed retrograde flow into the left atrium after the blocked P-wave, which indicate holodiastolic mitral regurgitation.

Abstract

Mini-Abstract We present a 74-year-old man with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency room with shortness of breath and dizziness. A resting electrocardiogram showed 2:1 atrioventricular block with a wide QRS duration and a rhythm of 35 beats/min. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed and color flow Doppler, color M-mode, and continuous-wave Doppler recordings of the transmitral flow revealed retrograde flow into the left atrium after the blocked P-wave, which indicate holodiastolic mitral regurgitation.
