Quantification of mitral regurgitation using transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Both Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) have well-established role in mitral regurgitation (MR) quantification for optimal management strategy.

An orifice shape-based reduced order model of patient-specific mitral valve regurgitation
Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2021 Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is one of the most prevalent valvular heart diseases. Its quantitative assessment is challenging but crucial for treatment decisions.

The evolving role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the assessment of mitral valve prolapse
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), characterized by a displacement > 2 mm above the mitral annulus of one or both bileaflets, with or without leaflet thickening, is a common valvular heart disease, with a prevalence of approximately 2% in western countries.

Determinants of regurgitant volume in mitral regurgitation: contrasting effect of similar effective regurgitant orifice area in functional and organic mitral regurgitation [PDF]
European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2011 Quantitative assessment of the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) is based on the calculation of the effective regurgitant orifice (ERO), a measure of lesion severity, and of the regurgitant volume (RVol), a measure of left ventricular volume overload.

New PASCAL Ace implant system in complex percutaneous mitral valve repair
REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2022 To the Editor, We present the case of a 73-year-old woman with arterial hypertension, morbid obesity (122 kg, body mass index = 44), and chronic lower limb swelling with recurrent skin infections due to multi-drug resistant microorganisms.
