SUMMARYThe M mode echocardiogram is not the main priority, during routine echocardiographic evaluation now-a-days. However, there are still a few classical conditions where this remains instructive and educative. One such situation is the presence of an 'a' wave in the pulmonary valve M mode tracing in normals and it's absence in pulmonary hypertension. In valvular pulmonary stenosis we expect a deeper 'a' wave. We describe one more cause of a prominent 'a' wave in the pulmonary valve M mode. We describe this in a common tropical disease, endemic to Kerala. BACKGROUND

“…Less specific echocardiographic abnormalities include diffuse atrioventricular valve leaflet thickening, enhanced echodensity of the moderator band or trabeculae, abnormal movement of the interventricular septum and/or posterior LV wall, and presence of thickened left ventricular "false tendon" . Moderate to massive pericardial effusion is a frequent finding in both left and right forms of EMF (George et al, 1982;Lowenthal & Teeger, 2000). Occasionally, endocardial calcification may be seen in the ventricles (Lowenthal & Teeger, 2000;Morrone et al, 1996;Trigo et al, 2010).…”

“…Moderate pericardial effusion and endocardial calcification may be occasionally found. (34)(35)(36) Both the restriction to ventricular filling and the atrioventricular valve regurgitation result in an increase in atrial pressure, that leads to aneurysmal left atrium (Figure 2b).

Despite these differences, it can be challenging to distinguish RHD from left-sided EMF in a clinical context, in particular when faced with mitral regurgitation in a low-resource setting. Making this distinction correctly is of high value, as the medical management, surgical and interventional options, and prognosis are considerably different. Acute EMF vs. acute RHDAcute mitral regurgitation can be viewed as part of the acute phase of both RHD (acute rheumatic fever, ARF) and EMF. As both are clinical diagnoses, lacking a confirmatory test, additional diagnostic work-up is needed. Of the 2, the clinical presentation of acute rheumatic fever is most clearly defined, and outlined in the Jones Criteria.(3) Indeed, in almost all cases, the diagnosis of ARF requires evidence of a recent streptococcal infection, as the link between untreated or undertreated group A streptococcus (GAS) and ARF is well established. Importantly, the
