Continuous wave Doppler interrogation of mitral regurgitation can provide highly useful data regarding several physiological and pathological hemodynamic parameters.
Case Report
Continuous wave Doppler analysis of mitral regurgitation is a valuable tool for deriving important hemodynamic parameters in clinical practice.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular lesions that are readily identified by transthoracic echocardiography. Color Doppler imaging is the modality of choice for the recognition of MR, and it plays an important role in the assessment of regurgitation severity. Continuous wave (CW) Doppler is commonly used to interrogate the MR signal, and this modality can provide highly useful data regarding several physiological and pathological parameters. In this manuscript, we present a series of cases that illustrate the various hemodynamic parameters that can be derived from analysis of the CW Doppler signal of MR.
Fadel et al. (Thu,) conducted a case report in Mitral regurgitation. Continuous wave (CW) Doppler was evaluated. Continuous wave Doppler interrogation of mitral regurgitation can provide highly useful data regarding several physiological and pathological hemodynamic parameters.
