Objectives We analyzed whether some echocardiographic parameters are good predictors of functional result after mitral valve correction surgery. Background Ejection fraction was not the only parameter to decide optimal time for surgery, nor an ...

The effect of regurgitant volume on left ventricular volumes and dimensions in patients with isolated aortic or mitral regurgitation [PDF]
Introduction The treatment of patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) or mitral regurgitation (MR) relies on the accurate assessment of the severity of the regurgitation and its effect on left ventricular (LV) size and function. CMR is an excellent tool for quantifying regurgitant volumes and LV size and function. The 2006 AHA/ACC management guidelines

Quantification of left ventricular remodeling in response to isolated aortic or mitral regurgitation
Background The treatment of patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) or mitral regurgitation (MR) relies on the accurate assessment of the severity of the regurgitation as well as its effect on left ventricular (LV) size and function.

Background:Proximal isovelocity surface area method and mitral regurgitatant jet estimation (with its ratio to left atrium) are reliable methods for estimation of mitral regurgitation severity aiding in management strategy, precluding the use of other ...

Automated quantification of mitral valve tenting volume in functional mitral regurgitation by three‐dimensional echocardiography [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundTenting of the mitral leaflets is a major pathophysiological factor contributing to functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). A novel software tool allows automated quantification of the tenting volume (TnV) by 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Comparison of mitral regurgitant volume assessment between proximal flow convergence and volumetric methods in patients with significant primary mitral regurgitation [PDF]
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Discrepancies have been observed between transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) severity grading in primary mitral regurgitation (MR). Purpose. To

The impact of different geometric assumption of mitral annulus on the assessment of mitral regurgitation volume by Doppler method [PDF]
Abstract Background Mitral regurgitation volume (MRvol) by quantitative pulsed Doppler (QPD) method previously recommended suffers from geometric assumption error because of circular geometric assumption of mitral annulus (MA).

Towards comprehensive assessment of mitral regurgitation using cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to assess patients with mitral regurgitation. Its advantages include quantitative determination of ventricular volumes and function and the mitral regurgitant fraction, and in ischemic mitral ...
