Quantitative assessment of tricuspid regurgitation using pulsed Doppler echocardiography.
Tricuspid valve regurgitation was assessed quantitatively by measuring blood flow velocity in the vena cava using a pulsed Doppler velocimeter. A non-invasive index of regurgitation was obtained by calculating the ratio between the maximum amplitudes of the systolic and diastolic components of the velocity curves. The index was compared with the angiographic grading of regurgitation in 70 patie...
متن کاملEvaluation of tricuspid regurgitation by pulsed Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography.
We analyzed tricuspid regurgitation noninvasively using ultrasonic pulsed Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography in 66 patients in whom tricuspid regurgitation was suspected from routine clinical evaluation. All of the patients also underwent right ventriculography. Ten healthy subjects served as controls. In 62 of 66 patients, the study was adequately performed. In 58 of 62 patients, pan...
متن کاملAge-related valvular regurgitation: a study by pulsed Doppler echocardiography.
To assess the prevalence of valvular regurgitation in the aged, we studied 176 apparently healthy volunteers with no history or physical evidence of cardiac abnormality. Their ages ranged from 40 to 90 (66 +/- 14, mean +/- SD) years. We examined these subjects by pulsed Doppler echocardiography combined with two-dimensional echocardiography to determine the prevalence of valvular regurgitation....
متن کاملQuantitative Doppler assessment of valvular regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Quantitation of valvular regurgitation remains a challenge. The accuracy of quantitative Doppler is controversial, and its ability to measure regurgitant volume is unknown; therefore, it is not widely used. METHODS AND RESULTS In 120 patients (20 without regurgitation, 19 with aortic regurgitation, and 81 with mitral regurgitation), the stroke volume through the mitral annulus and ...
متن کاملAssessment of transesophageal pulsed Doppler echocardiography in the detection of mitral regurgitation.
The value of transesophageal pulsed Doppler echocardiography (PDE) was studied in six patients with competent mitral valve and in 12 patients with angiographically proved mild to moderately severe mitral regurgitation. The results were compared with those from the standard transthoracic method of investigation. The advantages of the esophageal over the transthoracic approach in the detection of...
