Abstract:
Adequate assessment of the severity of mitral regurgitation is fundamental to decisions on the timing and the patterns of surgical treatment.Nowadays,two-dimensional echocardiography continues to be the first choice of assessment,but it's considerable limitations preclude its being a real gold standard.With the newly emerging techniques,such as three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasonography,multi-detector CT and MRI,the parameters promoted may have the potential to overcome some of the pitfalls of the two-dimensional methods.Advances in imaging assessment of the severity of mitral regurgitation were reviewed in the article.
