Book cover Echocardiography in Mitral Valve Disease

Abstract

In this echocardiography book on the mitral valve, we have decided to include a chapter on surgical indications and techniques. The reason for this is that we are compelled to enter into this debate and that mitral valve disease is a heart condition in which echocardiography has taken on a crucial role, not only regarding diagnosis and prognosis but also the surgical indication.
