[Value of Doppler color echocardiography in the diagnosis of diastolic mitral insufficiency in severe aortic insufficiency. Report of 2 cases].
The authors report the value of Doppler color flow mapping in the diagnosis of late diastolic mitral regurgitation in two patients with severe post-endocarditis aortic regurgitation requiring rapid surgical intervention. Doppler color flow mapping played an essential part in the management of these cases by helping in the diagnosis of late diastolic mitral regurgitation which is known to carry a very poor prognosis in this context.
