In this study, nineteen patients, who had mitral
valve regurgitation diagnosed by doppler
echocardiography are evaluated for of the
parameters that could best reflect the severity of
mitral valve regurgitation due to jet and turbulence
in cine magnetic resonance images were analy/ed
from tel view of a) the length of signal loss b) the
total area of signal loss c) the total number of
anatomic levels in which signal loss was visible d)
the ratio of the length of the signal loss to left atrium
anterior-posterior dimension. Results were than
compared vvith echocardiographic grades reflectİng
the severity of regurgitations from l to 4. To
determine the best parameter, t-tests were performed
that could best reflect the differcnccs of the grades
reported in echocardiography. The total area of the
signal loss, the length of mitral valve regurgitation
and the number of levels of signal loss were effective
in reflectİng the differences among the groups vvith
'p' values changing betvveen 0.05 and 0.001. Whereas,
the ratio of the length of the signal loss to left atrium
antcrior-posterior dimension was not effective in
differentiating subsequent groups.
