Figure A. Premature opening of the pulmonary valve was evident by pulsed Doppler tracing (arrow). B. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed a ruptured papillary muscle head (arrow head) in the right atrium. C. Doppler echocardiography revealed an acute severe tricuspid regurgitation. D. A right-to-left shunt through the patent foramen ovale was noted from the TEE scan.
