Why the study?
Can cardiac computed tomography accurately measure mitral valve adaptation compared to 3D echocardiography, and how do these metrics relate to functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure?
Can cardiac computed tomography accurately measure mitral valve adaptation compared to 3D echocardiography, and how do these metrics relate to functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure?
Cardiac CT provides comparable measurements of mitral valve size to 3D echocardiography and demonstrates that inadequate leaflet adaptation is associated with functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CT offers comparable mitral valve metrics to 3D echo in HF; extends imaging validation but leaves open prognostic utility for FMR.
Beaudoin et al. (2013) studied this question.
