Echo Doppler makes a fundamental contribution to the non-invasive quantification of mitral valve disease. It enables calculation of gradients and of orifice surface area in mitral stenosis. The quantification of mitral insufficiency is also possible though more difficult: it is based upon the combination of semi-quantitative and quantitative methods, in particular the calculation of regurgitation fraction obtained by comparison of flow rates at different orifices in cases of pure regurgitation. Finally, the calculation of pulmonary artery pressures from a Doppler record in tricuspid and pulmonary insufficiency can be used to assess the effects of mitral valve disease on the pulmonary circulation. Echo Doppler thus provides a reliable non-invasive hemodynamic assessment of mitral valve disease and should lead to a reduction in the number of invasive investigations in this type of valve disease.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008943	Mitral Valve	The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart.	Bicuspid Valve,Bicuspid Valves,Mitral Valves,Valve, Bicuspid,Valve, Mitral,Valves, Bicuspid,Valves, Mitral
D008944	Mitral Valve Insufficiency	Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation.	Mitral Incompetence,Mitral Regurgitation,Mitral Valve Incompetence,Mitral Insufficiency,Mitral Valve Regurgitation,Incompetence, Mitral,Incompetence, Mitral Valve,Insufficiency, Mitral,Insufficiency, Mitral Valve,Regurgitation, Mitral,Regurgitation, Mitral Valve,Valve Incompetence, Mitral,Valve Insufficiency, Mitral,Valve Regurgitation, Mitral
D008946	Mitral Valve Stenosis	Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.

D015150	Echocardiography, Doppler	Measurement of intracardiac blood flow using an M-mode and/or two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiogram while simultaneously recording the spectrum of the audible Doppler signal (e.g., velocity, direction, amplitude, intensity, timing) reflected from the moving column of red blood cells.
