Echocardiography in chronic rheumatic mitral valve disease.

In chronic rheumatic disease, echocardiography has proved to be a reliable method for obtaining information about the mitral valve which is not as readily available by other methods. Since the surgical approach to mitral valve disease is now commonplace, this technique of preoperative assessment is of enhanced interest. This paper will set forth some current views on the utility of the echocardiogram in the evaluation of rheumatic mitral valve disease.
