Abstract

MA quantitative analysis by 3D TTE was accurate compared with 3D TEE in unselected patients with mitral valve disease. In healthy subjects, it was highly feasible and reproducible. The availability of reference values for MA geometry and dynamics may foster the implementation of MA quantitative analysis by 3D TTE in clinical settings.
