Characterize of Mitral Valve Diseases by Using Echocardiography

Abstract

This study has done in Military and Ribat Hospital in ultra sound department. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the mitral valve disease using echocardiography. The data of the study were collected from 50 patient attended to the ultra sound department. The sample ages were ranged between 17 up to 80 years old .Both genders were included males are smokers، patient were affected by diabetes ، hypertension and rheumatoid were diagnose to have valve stenosis (14%) and (86%) regurgiation Echocardiographic parameters including left atrium، left ventricle ، Inter ventricular Septum diastole ، left ventricle diameter in diastole ، left ventricle diameter in systole ، ejection fraction were evaluated . Using ultra sound machine fitted with sector ، 5 MHZ high frequency probe . Doppler technique was used The result showed that the gender has effect on the echocardiographic parameters significantly at P value 0.05 . Hypertension has no effect on the selected parameters while the diabetes and rheumatoid have an effect on the left ventricle posterior wall in diastole significantly. The Doppler showed the degree of severity in most of cases (43 Regurgiation ) and (7 stenosis ) . Echocardiography and Doppler technique have great value in diagnosis of mitral valve diseases.
