Supports TTE Doppler for routine prosthetic valve assessment; leaves open optimal mitral regurgitation quantification strategies.
How is transthoracic Doppler echocardiography used to assess prosthetic heart valve function?
Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography is an accurate noninvasive method for evaluating prosthetic valve function, though it has specific limitations particularly in assessing mitral regurgitation.
Grigg et al. (1990) studied this question.
