Valvular heart disease – stenoses

Novel approach for automatic mid‐diastole frame detection in 2D echocardiography sequences for performing planimetry of the mitral valve orifice

“…However, it may be affected by hemodynamic factors such as heart rate, cardiac rhythm, and cardiac index. The direct planimetry of the mitral valve orifice leads to the hemodynamic‐independent assessment of mitral valve area [3] and plays the central role in a proper diagnosis or treatment planning of MS. In the mild and moderate MS, certain drugs can reduce symptoms of diseases by easing the heart's workload and regulating its rhythm.…”
