CONCLUSION
In our study, it was detected that the LA reservoir and LA conduit
parameters of the patients with severe AR significantly decreased
compared to those of the mild and moderate AR group. The grading of the
LA mechanics in patients with chronic AR might provide a supplementary
contribution to the present parameters with a holistic approach in the
grading of AR.
