Implication
Supports complementary multimodality imaging in valvular assessment; leaves open standardized protocols and outcome impact.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients with valvular heart disease (specifically mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, and aortic regurgitation)
I
Intervention
Multimodality imaging (including 3D echocardiography and multidetector row CT)
Multimodality imaging techniques, such as 3D echocardiography and MDCT, provide complementary information for the optimal evaluation of valvular heart disease severity and left ventricular function.
