Abstract
This volume unites anatomists, pathologists, cardiologists, surgeons and physiologists, in an attempt to define the causes and to clarify the diagnosis of ischemic mitral incompetence; and then to discuss the medical and surgical approaches to solving the problem. The ability to diagnose mitral incompetence, of any origin, has been enhanced by recent developments in ultrasound technology: 2D-echocardiography, pulsed-Doppler measurement of local velocity, and color-coded flow mapping. This proceedings volume contains important applications of these methods for pre-, intra-, and post-operative examination of mitral regurgitant flow patterns. Our understanding and interpretation of the measured flow patterns is enhanced by an understanding of the physiology of flow, both antegrade and retrograde, across the mitral valve.
