Pulmonary venous flow varies with different cardiac conditions. Flow patterns in response to
mitral regurgitation have not been well studied, but flows may vary enough to differentiate …

Early studies using Doppler color flow imaging have suggested that measurement of the
regurgitant jet area provides information regarding the severity of valvular insufficiency. This …

Reconstructive surgery of the mitral valve has been an alternative to mitral valve
replacement in patients with mitral regurgitation. Previously, we reported on postoperative …

To test the role of recently developed biplane transesophageal color Doppler
echocardiography in the assessment of severity of mitral regurgitation, we examined 51 …

Measurements of mitral and aortic valve flows were obtained with two-dimensional Doppler
echocardiography in 25 patients with isolated mitral (n= 19) or aortic (n= 6) regurgitation and …

Eighty consecutive patients who underwent both left ventriculography and single-plane
transesophageal echocardiography with Doppler color flow mapping were studied to …

Color Doppler echocardiography does not provide adequate information about the severity
of mitral regurgitation in patients with eccentric mitral regurgitation. We have developed a …

Mitral valve regurgitation is a relatively common and important heart valve lesion in clinical
practice and adequate assessment is fundamental to decision on management, repair or …

A noninvasive method to accurately quantitate the severity of mitral insufficiency would be of
major clinical value. In theory, in the absence of confounding variables, regurgitant mitral …

The mitral valve echocardiogram in patients with solitary mitral regurgitation is, in general,
characteristically different from normal healthy subjects. The amplitude of motion of the …
