title: [Diagnostic effectiveness of Rtg-TV, echocardiography and computerized tomography in mitral valve calcinosis].
abstract: The aim of the study was a comparative evaluation of the three diagnostic procedures: fluoroscopy (Rtg-TV), echocardiography (ECHO) and computer assisted tomography (CT) in detection of mitral valve calcifications. These methods were applied to the 46 patients with mitral valve disease (24 males and 22 females which age was 24-56 years). The results were compared with radiograms of isolated valves after surgery. We found that the most efficient diagnostic method is CT which provided following results: sensitivity--100%, specificity-- 89% efficiency--95%, false positives and false negatives rates 11% and 0% respectively. The same diagnostic indices in the other methods were: ECHO--92%, 77%, 85%, 22%, 7%; Rtg-TV--50%, 100%, 75%, 0%, 50%. The last method can not be used as a routine examination in detecting of the mitral valve calcifications because of its low sensitivity+ and high grade of false-negatives rate.
