Comparative Evaluation of Mitral Valve Strain by Deformation Tracking in 3D-Echocardiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present new algorithms to compute patient specific strain maps for mitral valve leaflets, by tracking and modeling deformations of the mitral valve apparatus in 3D echocardiography. We can then quantify comparisons of mitral leaflets strain maps between normal patients and cases of mitral valve prolapse or regurgitation. For patients with mitral valve regurgitation, we compare mitral leaflets strain maps between pre-surgery and post-surgery, to quantify the strain reduction due to mitral valve repair surgery.

Assessment of myocardial deformation: Predicting medium-term left ventricular dysfunction after surgery in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The development of left ventricular dysfunction after mitral valve replacement is a common problem in patients with chronic severe mitral regurgitation. Assessment of myocardial deformation enables myocardial contractility to be accurately estimated. Our aim was to compare the value of the preoperative strain and strain rate derived by either speckle-tracking echocar...
متن کاملDeformation Tracking and Diffeomorphic Matching in Medical Imaging
This thesis focuses on deformation tracking and diffeomorphic matching in 2D or 3D medical imaging. We have developed and implemented novel algorithmic approaches to track both the myocardial motion in 2D IntraCardiac Echocardiography images and the Mitral Valve deformation in 3D ultrasound images. We studied the myocardial deformation through the registration of IntraCardiac Echocardiography i...
متن کاملThe value of 2D strain imaging during stress testing.
Stress echocardiography is increasingly used but its major limitation is the subjective interpretation of wall motion changes requiring experience. Speckle tracking enables simultaneous evaluation of radial, longitudinal, and circumferential myocardial deformation. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) strain has been found to be as reliable as sonomicrometry for the assessment of left ventricular (LV...
متن کاملRight sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
متن کاملPatient-Specific Quantitation of Mitral Valve Strain by Computer Analysis of Three-Dimensional Echocardiography: A Pilot Study.
BACKGROUND A paucity of data exists on mitral valve (MV) deformation during the cardiac cycle in man. Real-time 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiography now allows dynamic volumetric imaging of the MV, thus enabling computerized modeling of MV function directly in health and disease. METHODS AND RESULTS MV imaging using 3D transesophageal echocardiography was performed in 10 normal subjects and 10...
