Does CMR planimetry of the anatomic regurgitant orifice accurately quantify mitral regurgitation severity compared to invasive catheterization and echocardiography in patients with mitral regurgitation?
CMR planimetry of the anatomic regurgitant orifice is a feasible and accurate method for quantifying mitral regurgitation severity, showing good agreement with echocardiography and invasive catheterization.
