Echocardiography plays a major role in diagnosis, etiology and severity of Mitral Stenosis (MS), analysis of valve anatomy and decision-making for intervention. This technique has also a crucial role to assess consequences of MS and follow up of patients after medical or surgical intervention. In this article we review the role of conventional echocardiography in assessment of mitral stenosis and future direction of this modality using 3D echocardiography.
超声心动图在二尖瓣狭窄(MS)的诊断、病因及严重程度评估、瓣膜解剖结构分析以及干预决策中发挥着重要作用。该技术在评估MS的后果以及对接受药物或手术干预后的患者进行随访方面也起着关键作用。在本文中,我们回顾了传统超声心动图在二尖瓣狭窄评估中的作用以及使用三维超声心动图这种检查方式的未来发展方向。
