Mitral Regurgitation Case Study!
Last week we walked through a case study demonstration, using the ASE’s chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) algorithm. This week, we have another case study to present– let’s see how you quantify the severity of MR!

Mitral Regurgitation Case Study Demonstration!
Our blog last week discussed the algorithm for determining the severity of chronic mitral regurgitation, provided by the ASE! If you missed it, you can find it here! Let’s use this information and work through a case study together!
3 Essential Color Doppler Measurements for MR
We started our mitral regurgitation (MR) blog series to provide our readers a clear & easy understanding of the basics to evaluating the mitral valve structure when MR is present. If you need refreshing or missed the blogs, you can find them here:
Secondary MR: Evaluating Mitral Valve Tethering
Last week we discussed clear & easy tips on how to evaluate different abnormalities of the mitral valve (MV) for primary MR. We also explained the Carpentier’s Classification concept and how it’s applied to various etiologies of the MV. If you need to refresh or missed our past blogs, you can find them here:
Ultimate Guide to Acute vs. Chronic MR
As we continue our blog journey on the topic of mitral regurgitation, we hope you have been able to review our prior educational posts! If not, no worries– you can find them here!
Finally… Mitral Valve Orientation Explained!
Last week, we covered the basic anatomy of the mitral apparatus. We reviewed in detail, the various structures and their function. As we continue with our mitral regurgitation blog series, we want to touch next on, specific imaging windows to evaluate the mitral valve. Remember, when we examine the valve, we need to make sure we include all structures of the apparatus.
