Key result
Combined M mode and Doppler echocardiography provided valuable information beyond M mode alone in recognizing mitral valve prosthetic malfunction, including cases of thrombus formation.
Why the study?
Does combined M mode and Doppler echocardiography improve the recognition of mitral valve prosthetic malfunction in patients with mitral disc valve prostheses compared to M mode alone?
Population

May enable simultaneous M-mode and Doppler assessment in mitral prostheses; leaves open need for validation before clinical adoption.

Does combined M mode and Doppler echocardiography improve the recognition of mitral valve prosthetic malfunction in patients with mitral disc valve prostheses compared to M mode alone?
Combined M mode and Doppler echocardiography provides valuable additional diagnostic information over M mode alone for detecting mitral disc valve prosthesis malfunction.
S Nitter‐Hauge (1984) conducted an observational in Mitral disc valve prostheses. Combination of M mode and Doppler echocardiography vs. M mode echocardiography alone was evaluated on Recognition of mitral valve prosthetic malfunction. Combined M mode and Doppler echocardiography provided valuable information beyond M mode alone in recognizing mitral valve prosthetic malfunction, including cases of thrombus formation.
