The study population then consisted of 85 patients with 1 to 4+ mitral regurgitation defined by routine color Doppler or angiography; sinus rhythm; no severe mitral annular calcification; no more than ...

The aortic valve controls the flow of blood out of the lower left chamber of the heart into the main artery (aorta). In native aortic valve regurgitation, the aortic valve cannot close properly and so ...

Table 3 provides American Society of Echocardiography criteria for grading the severity of AS.

Histopathology & Prevalence of Aortic Stenosis Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is primarily a disease of older adults with structurally normal trileaflet or congenitally bicuspid aortic valves (AVs ...

The average regurgitation volume by echocardiography was 70±30 mL; 72/75 patients (96%) had a regurgitant volume >30 mL. All patients fulfilled at least two of current echocardiographic criteria for ...

In patients with aortic regurgitation, this principle has been applied in a number of studies, most notably a study by Henry and colleagues 34 in 1980, in which LV end-systolic diameter by M-mode ...

Objectives To evaluate the variation between individuals in terms of basal chordae (BC) attachment sites on the mitral valve (MV) and the influence of this variation on secondary mitral regurgitation ...
