AB Echocardiography  is  the  principal  imaging  method  employed  to  assess  patients  with  known  or  suspected  valvular  heart  disease,  including  those  with  prosthetic  valves.  It  has  largely  supplanted  the  use  of  invasive  cardiac  catheterization  in  the  evaluation  and  management  of  these  patients.1,2,3  The  publications  by  Holen  and  Hatle  in  the  late  1970s4,5  in  which  Doppler  echocardiography  was  demonstrated  to  be  a  reliable  noninvasive  technique  to  accurately  assess  valve  function  resulted  in  more  widespread  acceptance  and  utilization  of  echocardiography.  Important  early  publications  also  validated  the  use  of  echocardiography  and  the  Doppler  technique  in  the  assessment  of  cardiovascular  hemodynamics.
