Abstract
Mitral regurgitation is often a complication in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, it has not yet been definitely confirmed whether this mitral regurgitation is a natural complication or partly an artificial phenomenon during angiocardiography. In the present study, this mitral regurgitation was noninvasively examined by means of two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography, in order to determine if it is present under conditions which are as near to normal as possible. Based on the results obtained, the relationship between mitral regurgitation and heart murmur was also studied.
