Aus einer Echokardiogramm-Interpretation:

Die Pulmonalklappentaschen sind zart und zeigen gute Beweglichkeit; normale Auslenkung.

Vielen Dank schon mal.

Explanation:
http://shortify.com/10001



Echocardiographic studies of the pulmonary valve were obtained in 63 adults. Patients with normal pulmonary artery pressure (22 cases) showed an oblique position of the valve images in diastole, slow valve opening slopes (< 300 mm/see), sizable (> 2 mm) posterior displacement of the cusp echoes with atrial systole ('a' dip), and a relatively short right ventricular pre-ejection period.

...The pulmonary valve opened relatively slowly, the opening velocity in all equalling 300 mm/sec or less. A transient posterior displacement of the cusp signal ('a' dip) was observed following atrial systole in all cases.

...Absence of pulmonary hypertension is indicated by the presence of a large 'a' dip and a slow opening slope of the pulmonary valve. A rapid opening slope generally indicates pulmonary hypertension. Associated persistence of minimal posterior displacement of the cusp echo during atrial systole is consistent with mild to moderate elevation of pulmonary artery pressure (mean pressure 40 mm Hg or less), while absence of any influence of atrial systole on the pulmonary cusp motion indicates a more severe degree of pulmonary hypertension (mean pressure > 40mm Hg).

agree  jccantrell: Since it is from an EKG, I would think this refers to the signal path (of the graph on the screen/paper) and so deflection would apply.
