Abstract:
The reverse doming of the anterior mitral leaflet by two-dimensional echocardiography was shown in 39 patients(83%) among 47 patients with aortic regurgitation. The reverse doming was noted in 21(80%) of 26 patients with mild AR and in 15(83%) of 18 patients with moderate AR and in all(100%) of 3 patients with severe AR. Thus observing the reverse doming of the anterior mitral leaflet by two-dimensional echocardiography may be an important auxiliary diagnostic aid in conjunction with well known other echocardiographic findings.
