Mitral Regurgitation

Mitral Regurgitation

  1. Obtain apical 4 view (see LV fxn slide) with straight septum. 
  2. Turn on color doppler. Arrange box to fill left atrium + extend past the mitral valve. 
  3. Freeze image. 
  4. Assessment:
    • Mild MR: Jet < 20% of left atrium area
    • Moderate MR: Jet 20-40% of LA
    • Severe (central) MR: Jet > 40% of LA area
    • Severe (eccentric) MR: jet swirls around entire LA.
