Mitral Valve Regurgitation Class I

  1. Diagnosis and assessment of hemodynamic severity
  2. Initial assessment and re-evaluation (when indicated) of LV, RV size, function and/or hemodynamics
  3. Re-evaluation of asymptomatic patients with severe regurgitation
  4. Re-evaluation of patients with mild to moderate regurgitation and clinical changes
  5. Assessment of changes in hemodynamic severity and ventricular compensation in patients with known regurgitation in pregnancy
  6. Re-evaluation of asymptomatic patients with mild to moderate regurgitation and ventricular dilation
  7. Assessment of the effects of therapy in the severity of regurgitation and ventricular compensation when it might lead to change in therapy
  8. Assessment of morphology and regurgitation in patients with a history of anorectic drug use, or the use of any drug or agent known to be associated with valvular heart disease and who are symptomatic or have a murmur
