Q: Leaflet Valve Measurement
asked by: neil22 on July 1st, 2007

Hi,

The VA has diagnosed me with Mitral Valve Prolapse. The report states I have an enlarged leaflet valve. I've been in the hiring proccess of a major employer for some time now, but the medical department needs to know the thickness of my leaflet valve in mm, but the echotechs at the VA have no clue how to measure my valve. I was told that the New England Jounal of Medicine explains how this is done, but I can't find this online anywhere. I think it's referenced in Nov or Oct of 1989. Not sure of the paragraph. Anyone with any ideas?.

Thanks
