S1C
-
Fig. S1C—Data sets are uploaded into specialized cardiac software. Multiplanar reformat lines are manually manipulated to pass through the center of mitral valve apparatus and left ventricular apex on two- and four-chamber views and through the middle of right ventricular free wall on the short-axis view. This results in short-axis view of the ventricles (upper left box); four-chamber view (lower left box); two-chamber view (upper right box); and 3D volumetric box (lower right box), simulating a ventriculogram.
S2C
-
Fig. S2C—Three-chamber cine CT shows normal opening and closing of mitral valve leaflets. Note leaflet “flutter” corresponding to passive and active atrial flow during ventricular diastole.
S3
-
Fig. S3—Three-chamber cine CT shows extensive calcification of the posterior mitral annulus and restricted movement of the posterior mitral leaflet, resulting in mitral stenosis. Also, note calcification of the aortic cusps.
S5C
-
Fig. S5C—Four-chamber cine CT shows prolapse of an atrial mass through the mitral valve orifice. Atrial myxoma was proven at surgery.
S6C
-
Fig. S6C—Three-chamber cine CT shows prolapse of the posterior mitral leaflet into the left atrium with rupture of chordae tendineae from posterior papillary muscle.
S7
-
Fig. S7—Four-chamber cine CT shows incomplete coaptation of mitral valve leaflets during ventricular systole consistent with mitral regurgitation. Note enlarged left atrium. Echocardiography (not shown) confirmed severe mitral regurgitation.
S9
-
Fig. S9—Three-chamber cine CT shows severe prolapse of posterior mitral leaflet into left atrium and severe incomplete coaptation of mitral leaflets consistent with severe mitral regurgitation.
S10C
-
Fig. S10C—Cine CT across the aortic valve shows wide opening of cusps during ventricular systole and complete coaptation in center of valve orifice during ventricular diastole.
S11C
-
Fig. S11C—Three-chamber cine CT shows systolic anterior motion of anterior mitral valve leaflet with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during ventricular systole.
S12
-
Fig. S12—Cine CT across aortic valve confirms restricted opening of aortic cusps consistent with moderate aortic stenosis.
S13C
-
Fig. S13C—Cine CT across aortic valve confirms bicuspid aortic valve. Note elliptic shape of valve orifice in systole.
S14
-
Fig. S14—Cine CT across valve confirms bicuspid aortic valve with large, mobile vegetation that has eroded through aortic wall with subsequent extravasation. Findings were confirmed at surgery.
S15
-
Fig. S15—Three-chamber cine CT shows two flail aortic cusps with vegetations. Surgery confirmed valve leaflets were completely destroyed. Blood cultures grew Staphylococcus aureus.
S16
-
Fig. S16—Four-chamber cine CT shows apical displacement of septal leaflet of tricuspid valve, with reduced motion of anterior leaflet, resulting in tricuspid regurgitation and enlargement of right atrium and characteristic “ping-pong” volume distribution of right heart.
S18C
-
Fig. S18C—Four-chamber cine CT shows immobile, fixed anterior tricuspid leaflet; thickened chordae tendineae; and enlarged right atrium from tricuspid stenosis secondary to cardiac carcinoid. Findings were confirmed on echocardiography (not shown).
