Background. Color Doppler echocardiography is a standard technique for assessing mitral
regurgitation before and after mitral valvuloplasty. Mitral valve prolapse produces complex …

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

Abstract Objective: Transesophageal color Doppler (or 2D Doppler) is the most widely used
technique for intraoperative assessment of mitral valve repair. However, the most severe …

Objectives. This study was designed to assess the most accurate and reproducible methods
to quantitate mitral regurgitation by color flow trarasthoracic and transesophageal …

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical feasibility of three-
dimensional (3D) reconstruction of color Doppler signals in patients with mitral regurgitation …

Objectives. To determine the influence of jet eccentricity and mechanism of mitral
regurgitation, we examined 1) the relation between jet extent and severity of mitral …

BACKGROUND In clinical color Doppler examinations, mitral regurgitant jets are often
observed to impinge on the left atrial wall immediately beyond the mitral valve. In …

BACKGROUND The ability of transesophageal color Doppler echocardiography to provide
high-resolution images of both cardiac structure and blood flow in real time is advantageous …

Abstract Aims Colour Doppler is the most widely used technique for assessing valve
disease, but eccentric regurgitant jets cannot be visualized and measured by conventional …

Background: Prior studies have reconstructed mitral regurgitant flow in three dimensions
displaying gray scale renditions of the jets, which were difficult to differentiate from …
