DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN SUBCLINICAL RHEUMATIC VALVULAR REGURGITATION: ALONGTERM STUDY
Doppler echocardiography (DE) is known to be a valuable tool for detecting subclinical forms of valvular regurgitation (VRJ in theacutephase of rheumatic fever (RF). Previous studies have mostly dealt with the acute phase problem with only short-term follow-up. In this study, 24 children between 4-15 years of age (mean age II.X±2.7 years) with RF without clinically diagnosed carditis (most ...
متن کاملClinical evaluation versus Doppler echocardiography in the quantitative assessment of valvular heart disease.
We tested the hypotheses that Doppler echocardiography has a higher accuracy than clinical evaluation in the detection of significant aortic and mitral valvular heart disease and that Doppler echocardiography is highly accurate as compared with cardiac catheterization for the assessment of valvular disease severity. Thus, cardiac catheterization for the assessment of valve lesion severity may b...
متن کاملDoppler Echocardiography Imaging in Detecting Multi-Valvular Lesions: A Clinical Evaluation in Children with Acute Rheumatic Fever
RATIONALE Doppler echocardiography has been demonstrated to be accurate in diagnosing valvular lesions in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) when compared to clinical evaluation alone. OBJECTIVE To perform Doppler echocardiography in children clinically diagnosed by the Jones criteria to have acute rheumatic fever (ARF), and to then compare the effectiveness of echo in detecting single/multi-valvu...
