Echocardiography continues to be the noninvasive method of choice in the evaluation of valvular heart disease. Important recent developments include clinical validation of approaches used to quantify valvular regurgitation, in particular the proximal flow convergence zone method; use of transesophageal imaging to monitor and evaluate surgical or percutaneous interventions in valvular heart disease, in particular mitral valve repair; insight into flow-related stretch of the orifice area in aortic stenosis; and validation of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in small series for quantification of left-sided valvular stenotic and regurgitant lesions.
超声心动图仍然是评估心脏瓣膜病的首选非侵入性方法。近期的重要进展包括用于量化瓣膜反流的方法的临床验证，尤其是近端血流会聚区法；经食管成像用于监测和评估心脏瓣膜病的外科手术或经皮介入治疗，特别是二尖瓣修复术；对主动脉瓣狭窄时孔口面积与血流相关的拉伸的深入了解；以及在小样本研究中对磁共振成像用于量化左侧瓣膜狭窄和反流病变的验证。
