Semiquantitative grading of mitral regurgitation (MR) by transesophageal echocardiography
(TEE) is widely used for clinical decision making. However, the relation between …

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) allows an unobscured view of the left atrium for
the assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR). However, criteria for assessing MR by TEE have …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of mitral regurgitation (MR)
volume quantified on three-dimensional (3D) color Doppler transesophageal …

In this report, we review the advantages, limitations, and optimal utilization of various
transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic (TTE and TEE) methods used for …

This study was designed to examine the accuracy of multiplane transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) color Doppler measurements in comparison to monoplane or …

Direct planimetry of anatomic regurgitation orifice area (AROA) using 3-dimensional
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been described. This study sought to (1) …

Mitral regurgitation (MR) severity is routinely assessed by Doppler color flow mapping,
which is subject to technical and hemodynamic variables. Vena contracta width may be less …

Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is among the most prevalent and most significant valve
problems in the Western world. 1 Yet the accurate quantification of MR remains a significant …

The noninvasive determination of severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) is often of major
clinical importance. We performed simultaneous Doppler echocardiography and left …

Assessment of the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) by Doppler color flow mapping is
limited by dependence of jet area on hemodynamic and technical variables. The width of the …
