Description
Marco Rolando and co-authors review ultrasound checks for patients facing mitral valve repair in a paper from 2025. A leaking mitral valve is among the most common valve faults, and cases grow as populations age. Leaks arise either from the valve itself or from a stretched heart around it.
Echocardiography sits at the center of care for this valve. Three-dimensional imaging and strain analysis show the leak's size and cause in fine detail. Scans also reveal how the heart has remodeled around the fault. Those facts set the right time to act. Surgeons use the maps to choose repair over replacement and plan each cut. Follow-up scans then judge the repair's success.
