*[[Hyperdynamic left ventricle]], mildly [[dilated]] (LVIDd = 61 mm), [[stroke volume]] = 50 mL.
*[[Large vegetation]] on the [[ventricle]] side of the [[aortic cusp]] (30 × 15 mm).
*[[Severe aortic regurgitation]].
*[[Dense continuous-wave Doppler signal]] with a [[steep slope]] (pressure half time <150 ms) indicating [[severe aortic regurgitation]].
*Moderate [[mitral regurgitation]].
