Quantitation of mitral regurgitation using the systolic/diastolic pulmonary venous flow velocity ratio.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that pulmonary venous flow velocity ratios during systole and diastole in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) correctly predict the quantitative degree of MR. BACKGROUND Pulmonary venous flow velocity measurements have thus far been used only for the qualitative assessment of MR. Recent studies have evaluated this method usin...
متن کاملMITRAL REGURGITATION Quantitation of mitral regurgitation by Doppler echocardiography
The evaluation and care of patients with mitral regurgitation would be facilitated by an easy, reproducible and noninvasive method that could quantitate the hemodynamic burden. In this study, we describe a new Doppler echocardiographic method that measures the regurgitant fraction and we compare it with angiographic and scintigraphic methods. A total of 27 patients with mitral regurgitation wer...
متن کاملEvaluation of diastolic blood flow dynamic of the left ventricle in dogs with mitral valve regurgitation using vector flow mapping
Mitral valve regurgitation (MVR) is a common valvular disease in dogs. Hydrokinetic evaluation of the blood flow within the ventricles has become possible by vector flow mapping (VFM), which shows the blood flow within the ventricles in vector and vortex flows. Blood flow within the left ventricle of MVR dogs was compared at different stages of MVR and to that of normal dogs. 14 normal dogs and...
متن کاملRadionuclide angiography in the quantitation of mitral regurgitation.
First pass radionuclide angiography (RA) was used to assess its ability to detect and quantitate the presence of left-sided regurgitation due to isolated mitral regurgitation (MR). In this study the nuclear regurgitant fraction (NRF) obtained from first pass RA was correlated with the results of contrast ventriculography (CV) in 50 patients, 18 with and 32 without MR. The correlation between CV...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension in Mitral Regurgitation
M itral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular lesion in the United States and the second-most common valvular lesion requiring surgery in Europe. In the United States, over 2.5 million people are estimated to have moderate-to-severe MR, and this number is expected to double by 2030. Over the past several decades, improvements in our ability to diagnose and quantify MR, coupled with a b...
