In an attempt to develop a new approach to the non-invasive measurement of mitral
regurgitation, Doppler echocardiography and left ventriculography were performed in 20 …

Background: Degenerative mitral valve (MV) disease causing mitral regurgitation (MR) is the
most common organic valve pathology and is classified based on leaflet motion. MV repair is …

Surgical valve repair for mitral regurgitation has significant advantages over valve
replacement, but little is known about the mechanisms of its failure. This echocardiographic …

Accurate quantitation of mitral regurgitation offers a major clinical dilemma. The clinical
clues depend largely on cardiac auscultation, the accuracy of which needs to be rigorously …

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the value of non-invasive clinical and
Doppler echocardio-graphic findings, compared to cardiac catherization, in management …

The evaluation and care of patients with mitral regurgitation would be facilitated by an easy,
reproducible and noninvasive method that could quantitate the hemodynamic burden. In this …

Surgical repair of the mitral valve is being increasingly performed to treat severe mitral
regurgitation. Transesophageal echocardiography is an essential tool for assessing valvular …

Residual significant tricuspid regurgitation after mitral valve operations may significantly
increase postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, routine techniques to detect …

The prevalence of valvular regurgitation in a large population with structurally normal hearts
remains unknown. From the computer database of the echocardiography laboratory of the …
