Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Objectives: Objective of our study was to observe the echocardiography findings of patients with valvular heart disease. Methodology: A complete assessment, physical examination was performed to all patients. Twodimensional colour Doppler and M-mode Philips HD11XE and Aloka SSD 4000 ultrasound system were used to evaluate the valvular heart disease. The echocardiography was performed in accordance with American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines. Results: Data was analyzed by using simple statistical methods with the help of MS-Office software. Conclusions: Female patients and Young age group (20-40 years) were more prone to valvular heart disease. Rheumatic Heart Disease was the most common etiological factors, mitral valve prolapse, isolated mitral regurgitation and mitral stenosis with mitral regurgitation were the more common presentation of patients with valvular heart disease. Echocardiography is important diagnostic tools for the evaluation of valvular heart disease
