Beschreibung:
The echocardiographic assessment of valvular heart diseases is the basic analysisof valvular defects next to clinical investigation and stethoscopy. Severity of mitralregurgitation (MR) is usually estimated by an integrated approach using semi quantitativeparameters and is still one of the biggest challenges of echocardiography. Quantitativeechocardiographic analysis of MR severity often fails to describe comprehensiblehemodynamic conditions. However, comprehensive echocardiography based onstandardized image acquisition and proper image quality is required to properly assesshemodynamic parameter comparable to cardiac magnetic resonance tomography. Thisreview focuses on the uncertainty of MR severity assessed by echocardiography inrecent trials of interventional MR treatment. In addition, the necessity to provide plausibleechocardiographic data for individual decision making is highlighted. In conclusion,plausible functional diagnostics by rational echocardiography is a prerequisite in patientswith valvular heart diseases.
