Average values for real-time two and three-dimensional echocardiographic parameters of mitral and tricuspid valves in a healthy Iranian population.

Background: The reliability and validity of echocardiography are critical issues. Day and age, defining normal cases necessitates expressing natural physiological differences, including ethnicity.

Objective: We are persuaded to evaluate average values in mitral and tricuspid valves in the Iranian population because only a few studies have been conducted to obtain average measures in echocardiography.

Morphometric Study of Mitral Valve Annulus in Iran.

Background: This study aimed to determine the normal dimensions of the mitral annulus (MA) in Iranian population.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using 88 fresh hearts of male and female cadavers for six months in Mashhad, Iran. Normal data were determined by measuring the exact dimensions of the MA in fresh hearts of patients who had died of non-cardiac causes and considering some parameters such as age, gender, stature, and weight.
