Key result
Reflected ultrasound demonstrated the relationship of mitral valve ring to cusp movement in normal subjects and patients with mitral valve disease or aortic regurgitation.
Why the study?
Can reflected ultrasound demonstrate the normal and abnormal movements of the mitral valve ring and cusps?
Can reflected ultrasound demonstrate the normal and abnormal movements of the mitral valve ring and cusps?
Reflected ultrasound is a feasible imaging modality for evaluating the dynamic movements of the mitral valve ring and cusps in both normal and pathological states.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports feasibility of reflected ultrasound for mitral valve assessment; leaves open its clinical role pending prospective validation.
Reflected ultrasound has been used to show the relation of mitral valve ring to cusp movement in 5 normal subjects and in 43 patients with mitral valve disease. The effect of aortic regurgitation on the movements of the normal and the stenotic mitral valve have been studied in 8 patients.
