Introduction: Left ventricular (LV) rate of pressure rise (LV DP/Dt) derived from the continuous Doppler profile of mitral regurgitant jet has been proven to be a reliable [1] and reproducible [2] index of peroperative LV performance in the presence of mild to moderate mitral regurgitation (MR). This study was designed to precise the accuracy of the method in presence of severe acute MR....
