Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of valve regurgitation in healthy volunteers.
OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence and the characteristics of physiological valve regurgitation. DESIGN Pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography, continuous wave Doppler echocardiography and Doppler colour flow mapping were performed prospectively in healthy volunteers. SETTING Echocardiography laboratory in a city hospital. PATIENTS 32 consecutive healthy volunteers (age 21-49 years, mean age...
متن کاملDoppler echocardiographic evaluation of prosthetic valve function.
Owing to its versatile, non-invasive, radiation-free, and low cost nature, Doppler echocardiography is undoubtedly the method of choice to evaluate prosthetic valve function. This evaluation follows the same principles used for the evaluation of native valves, with some important specifics and caveats described in this article. A complete echocardiography includes two dimensional imaging of the...
متن کامل[Doppler echocardiographic variables and the type of surgery to be performed in rheumatic mitral valve regurgitation].
In our country, rheumatic disease is still one of the most prevalent causes of mitral valve regurgitation. Unlike mitral valve regurgitation caused by myxomatous degeneration or ischemic disease, that caused by rheumatic disease may have restriction and thickening of the leaflets, and marked abnormalities in the subvalvular region 1, which are also commonly associated with valvular stenosis. Rh...
متن کاملDoppler echocardiographic findings in tissue engineered aortic valve in a sheep model
Background: Heart valve diseases are considered a common disease in human and animals, and valve replacement is an option for treatment of valvular diseases. Objectives: In this study efficacy of a tissue engineered valve in thoracic aorta was evaluated with transthoracic echocardiography. Methods: This study was undertaken on 6 male sheep. Echocardiography was performed on all sheep 24 hours b...
متن کاملPulsed Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of valvular regurgitation in patients with mitral valve prolapse: comparison with normal subjects.
Pulsed Doppler echocardiography was used to determine prospectively the prevalence of mitral, aortic, tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation in 80 consecutive patients with mitral valve prolapse and 85 normal subjects with similar age and sex distribution. Mitral valve prolapse was defined by posterior systolic displacement of the mitral valve on M-mode echocardiography of 3 mm or more (40 patie...
