  • Title: [Echocardiographic diagnosis of plurivalvular prolapse. Apropos of a case].
    Author: Klimczak K, Drobinski G, Thomas D, Lascault G, Lechat P, Grosgogeat Y.
    Journal: Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris); 1987 May; 36(5):261-5. PubMed ID: 3619380.
    Abstract:
    Sonocardiography, especially bi-dimensional, currently represents an examination of choice in the detection of valvular prolapses. The authors report one case of a triple aorto-mitral-tricuspid valvular prolapse, diagnosed with the ultrasound technique. In light of this report and the data from the literature, the frequency and the distribution of valvular affections are discussed. The technical difficulties of recording and interpreting sonographic images responsible for false positive or false negative diagnostic errors are also studied.
