Key result
Cine-MR imaging demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for valvular regurgitation compared to cineangiography, with sensitivities of 93.5% for MR, 100% for AR, and 85.7% for TR.

Supports cine-MR for noninvasive valvular regurgitation assessment; leaves open prospective validation versus echocardiography.
Observational (n=104)
Does cine-MR imaging accurately evaluate the severity of valvular regurgitation compared to cineangiography in patients with valvular disease?
Cine-MR imaging is a highly sensitive and specific noninvasive method for identifying and semiquantitatively assessing the severity of valvular regurgitation.
Nishimura et al. (1990) conducted an observational in Valvular regurgitation (n=104). Cine-MR imaging (cMRI) vs. Cineangiography was evaluated on Accuracy of diagnosis of valvular regurgitation (sensitivity and specificity). Cine-MR imaging demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for valvular regurgitation compared to cineangiography, with sensitivities of 93.5% for MR, 100% for AR, and 85.7% for TR.
