🎯 Less is more in mitral regurgitation assessment

In 177 patients undergoing near-simultaneous Echo & CMR, just 2 ASE criteria identified significant MR with 91–95% specificity.

🫀 Smarter integration, less quantification, greater diagnostic confidence

Absolutely agree. You have to pick the beat which unmasks the most suffering that valve can possibly impose on the LV myocardium.

A very good thinking!
Mayo Clinic Echo Lab now recommends measuring a single highest velocity of aortic valve and LVOT to determine AV gradient and AVA. Hope this will become a part of future VHD guideline @ottoecho
