Sensitivity and specificity of detection of mitral regurgitation was assessed by range-gated
Doppler echocardiography. The degree of mitral regurgitation was also estimated by the …

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

Epicardial and transesophageal color Doppler echocardiography are both widely used for
the intraoperative assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR); however, it has not been …

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 …

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

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

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 prospective pulsed Doppler study of 55 patients was undertaken to detect and quantitate
mitral regurgitation. Systolic left atrial flow dispersion indicated mitral regurgitation. Doppler …

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 …
