title: [Recommendations for mitral regurgtitation with Doppler echocardiography].
abstract: Mitral regurgitation is one of the most serious heart diseases. With the development of up-to-date medical techniques, the ratio of successful operations in valvular repair and valvular replacement has been largely improved. Examinations before operation become extremely crucial. Accurate method is required in assessing the degree of mitral regurgitation to set down the corresponding treatment method. This paper reviews the evaluation methods of mitral valvular regurgitation provided in these years and presents comments on the application areas as well as the merits and disadvantages of those methods. Finally, the prospect of the method based on three-dimensional Doppler ultrasonographic imaging on mitral regurgitation is discussed.
