A Study of 3D Doppler Echocardiography for More Accurate Measurement of Mitral Valve Regurgitation

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare the value and practicality of using 3D color doppler echocardiography of the vena contracta area versus the standard 2D method when needing accurate measurement of mitral valve regurgitation.
