title: [Quantitative evaluation of normal mitral and tricuspid valves (comparison of the data of echocardiometric and morphometric studies)].
abstract: Fifteen children, aged 5 to 15 years, were investigated by two-dimensional echocardiography in order to estimate quantitative characteristics of the normal mitral valve (MV) and tricuspid valve (TV). The results were compared to morphometric data in 21 children matched for age. Echocardiography allowed a fairly accurate estimation of the dimensions of atrioventricular valves. Following the standardization procedure, echocardiometric findings showed good correlation to morphometric data, while the differences between the two never exceeded 23%. Quantitative MV and TV characteristics were dependent on body surface area, but, the dependence being nonlinear, the variation followed a strict pattern.
