Cover Story: The quantification of chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) is fundamental to guiding patients’ management and identifying the appropriate timing for mitral valve (MV) surgery; however, no imaging technique has been defined so far as a gold standard for use in MR quantification. Echocardiography requires an integrative approach based on qualitative, semiquantitative, and quantitative parameters, and is fundamental for pre-operative the performance of anatomical assessments of the MV. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has shown high accuracy and good reproducibility in quantification of regurgitant volume and ventricular volumes and can allow myocardial tissue characterization. However, only a moderate agreement has been shown between echocardiography and CMR in MR quantification, which becomes higher when 3D echocardiography is used. View this paper

What Is the Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome?

  • Robert H. Anderson,

  • Diane E. Spicer

As yet, there is no agreed definition for the so-called “hypoplastic left heart syndrome”. Even its origin remains contentious. Noonan and Nadas, who as far as we can establish first grouped together patients as belonging to a “synd...
