Why the study?
Can pulsed Doppler accurately detect diastolic mitral regurgitation, and does its presence correlate with worse hemodynamics in patients with severe aortic regurgitation or nonobstructive cardiomyopathy?
Can pulsed Doppler accurately detect diastolic mitral regurgitation, and does its presence correlate with worse hemodynamics in patients with severe aortic regurgitation or nonobstructive cardiomyopathy?
Pulsed Doppler is a feasible and accurate noninvasive method for detecting diastolic mitral regurgitation, which is associated with significantly elevated pulmonary and capillary wedge pressures.

May aid noninvasive hemodynamic assessment; leaves open prospective validation in aortic regurgitation or cardiomyopathy.
