Mitral
Valve Regurgitation Class I
- Diagnosis and assessment of hemodynamic severity
- Initial assessment and re-evaluation (when indicated) of LV, RV size,
function and/or hemodynamics
- Re-evaluation of asymptomatic patients with severe regurgitation
- Re-evaluation of patients with mild to moderate regurgitation and
clinical changes
- Assessment of changes in hemodynamic severity and ventricular compensation
in patients with known regurgitation in pregnancy
- Re-evaluation of asymptomatic patients with mild to moderate regurgitation
and ventricular dilation
- Assessment of the effects of therapy in the severity of regurgitation
and ventricular compensation when it might lead to change in therapy
- 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
