Abstract

(1) In our in vitro setting, ACM is reliable both at the LVOT and at the mitral valve. (2) In the in vivo situation, some overlapping does exist between the three groups of MR. However, ACM is a very easy, rapid, and objective method to differentiate hemodynamic nonsignificant (<3/4) from significant (> or =3/4) MR. Together with other well-known methods for the quantification of MR, it should facilitate the gradation of MR in the clinical setting. The absence of significant differences between group 1 and group 2 proves that the accuracy of ACM measurements at the mitral valve needs to be ameliorated before ACM can be used as a gold standard for the noninvasive measurement of RV and RF.
