Quantitative analysis of mitral valve morphology in mitral valve prolapse with real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography: importance of annular saddle shape in the pathogenesis of mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Few data exist on the relation of the 3-dimensional morphology of mitral valve and degree of mitral regurgitation (MR) in mitral valve prolapse. METHODS AND RESULTS Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of the mitral valve was acquired in 112 subjects, including 36 patients with mitral valve prolapse and significant MR (≥3+; MR+ group), 32 patients with mitral va...
متن کاملEffect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse
Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...
متن کاملThree-dimensional dynamic morphology of the mitral valve in different forms of mitral valve prolapse – potential implications for annuloplasty ring selection
BACKGROUND Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography has increased our understanding of the distinct pathomechanisms underlying functional, ischaemic or degenerative mitral regurgitation. However, potential differences in dynamic morphology between the subtypes of degenerative mitral prolapse have scarcely been investigated. METHODS In order to compare the dynamic behavior ...
متن کاملValvular Heart Disease Mitral Annular Dynamics in Myxomatous Valve Disease New Insights With Real-Time 3-Dimensional Echocardiography
Background—Mitral annulus is a complex structure of poorly understood physiology. Full-volume real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography offers a unique opportunity to completely image and quantify mitral annulus size and motion. Methods and Results—Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of the mitral valve was acquired in 32 patients with myxomatous valve diseas...
متن کاملAssessment of mitral valve geometric deformity in patients with ischemic heart disease using three-dimensional echocardiography
Background A full understanding of the geometry of the nonplanar saddle-shaped mitral annulus can provide valuable information regarding the pathophysiology of mitral regurgitation (MR). Aim of the work To investigate mitral annular geometric deformities using three-dimensional echocardiography among patients with ischemic coronary illness with and without mitral regurgitation. Methods Thre...
