Ednan BAYRAM, Hasan KOCATÜRK, Mehmet Cengiz ÇOLAK, Murat MERİÇ
Özet
Affection of all four valves is extremely uncommon feature of rheumatic heart disease. The few reports in the literature of patients with rheumatic lesions of all four heart valves correspond to cases diagnosed at autopsy or by cardiac catheterization, but reports of echocardiographic diagnosis are much rarer. Echocardiography is useful for confirming clinical findings and allows assessment of the severity of valvular stenosis and regurgitation.
