Validation of “left ventricular early inflow-outflow index”: A novel echocardiographic method for quantification of mitral regurgitation in an Indian population with special focus on rheumatic etiology
Background: Quantification of mitral regurgitation (MR) has always required an “integrated approach” as there is no single gold-standard method. We investigated a new Doppler-derived parameter “left ventricular early inflow-outflow index (LVEIO)” for the quantification of MR and its likelihood to pr...
