Valvular regurgitation has long been recognized as an important cause of morbidity and
mortality. Although the physical examination can alert the clinician to the presence of …

American Society of Echocardiography: recommendations for evaluation of the severity of
native valvular regurgitation with two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography ☆ …

Abstract Objectives We used the Doppler proximal flow convergence technique as a
physiologic tool to explore the effects of the time courses of mitral annular area and …

Objectives To evaluate vena contracta and other echocardiographic measures of
myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) severity in a multivariable analysis of survival in …

Previous studies have demonstrated that regurgitant fraction can be measured by using the
proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method. For this study, we utilized this Doppler …

Mitral effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) using the flow convergence (FC) method is
used to quantify the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR). However, it is challenging and …

Functional ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is now receiving increased attention as one of
the last frontiers in mitral valve repair as well as a therapeutic opportunity in heart failure (1 …

OBJECTIVES Echocardiography is used routinely to assess mitral regurgitation severity, but
echocardiographic measures of mitral regurgitation in dogs have not been compared with …

BACKGROUND: Real-time 3-dimensional color Doppler echocardiographic (RT3DE)
imaging has recently been demonstrated to provide accurate direct measurement of vena …

Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for assessment of the mitral valve (MV). It
