[Echocardiographic diagnosis of congestive cardiomyopathy associated with mitral regurgitation].
Echocardiographic findings are comparatively analyzed in 25 patients with congestive cardiopathy, combined with mitral regurgitation, a control group of healthy and 10 patients with volume loaded left ventricle with rheumatic "pure" mitral insufficiency. Some discrepancies were established in the usual echocardiographic characteristics of congestive cardiomyopathy in the patients with CCMP, combined with significant mitral insufficiency: normal, even increased amplitude of movement of the interventricular septum in the absence of systolic increase of the septal thickness. The differentiation between the rheumatic mitral insufficiency and mitral insufficiency in case of congestive myocardiopathy is difficult, due to the considerable differences in the functional Echo-C characteristics of left ventricle and morphological characteristic features in mitral echogram.
