Quantification mitral regurgitation[1]

Slight Moderate Severe
Jet plane surface/LA <20% 20-40% >40%
Jet plane surface <4cm2 4cm-10cm2 10cm2
ERO <20 mm2 20-40mm2 40mm2
Vena contracta <3mm 3-7mm >7mm

Assess the severity of mitral insufficiency

An independent measure seem to be that the regurgitant area trying to access parameters. With the help of the Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area (PISA) method, the effective regurgitant orifice (ERO) can be calculated. The vena contracta (narrowest part of regurgitant jet) has a strong relationship with the regurgitant orificium.

Of course, it should not be forgotten. "Old" values in the estimation of the seriousness of the MI In a severe MI will, after all, often the left atrium will be enlarged and the PW measured with E / A ratio of the mitraal inflow >>1 should be, and the velocity E> 1.5 to 1.8 m/s.

Criteria For MR severity*
Criteria Mild MR Severe MR
Regurgitant Volume < 30 cc > 60 cc
Regurgitant Fraction < 30 % > 50 %
EROA < 0.20 cm^2 > 0.40 mm^2
*Moderate MR has values considered in between those of mild and severe both.[2]

Carpentier classification

In the assessment of mitral regurgitation is important also the mechanism of mitral regurgitation study. Carpentier classified the mechanism of regurgitation into three groups:

Carpentier1.svg
Type I: Normal mobility of the leaflets, cleft mitral valve hole in mitral valve endocarditis by functional with annulus dilatation Type II: Excessive movement of the leaflets, mitral valve prolapse notochord elongation, notochord / papillary muscle rupture Type III: Restrictive mobility of the leaflets, attached the leaflets do not open fully in diastole. Lime in annulus overgrijpend on blade such as hypertension, HCM, AoS. Fusion of commissures as in acute rheumatism, parachute mitral valve. Merger or retraction of subvalvular apparatus.

Patients with mitral valve does not close completely, but which in diastole normal motility is seen are not easy to classify. This occurs in a highly dilated left ventricle or on the basis of myocardial ischemia. Carpentier shared this group with normal motility.

In addition to assessing the mobility of the mitral valve apparatus must also be paid to the apposition of the mitral valve coaptation and magazines. Coaptation is the contact area of ​​both leaflets when the valve is closed. Apposition, the valve blades in contact with each other (symmetrical or asymmetrical).

A: Normal coaptation and apposition

B: Billowing allowing coaptation point moves towards the bosom, normal apposition

C: Reduced zone of coaptation by abnormal apposition

D: Total loss of coaptation with normal apposition[3]
