  • Title: Impact of tissue harmonic imaging on the assessment of rheumatic mitral stenosis.
    Author: Prior DL, Jaber WA, Homa DA, Thomas JD, Mayer Sabik E.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2000 Sep 01; 86(5):573-6, A10. PubMed ID: 11009285.
    Abstract:
    We examined the effect of tissue harmonic imaging on the echocardiographic splitability score and valve area measurement of 40 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. Planimetered valve areas were unaffected by the use of harmonic imaging, but valve scores were increased, particularly in patients with scores <10.
