Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiographic Vena Contracta Area for Grading Mitral Regurgitation: Severity Cut-offs From a Prospective Tunisian Cohort. [PDF]
Three‐dimensional vena contracta area (VCA) measured by transoesophageal echocardiography enables precise accurate quantification of mitral regurgitation severity. In a Tunisian cohort, 3D VCA showed strong correlations with conventional 2D indices and excellent diagnostic performance for severe MR, supporting its use particularly in rheumatic mitral ...
