From: A novel technique to quantify the instantaneous mitral regurgitant rate
An example of the three types of MR jet pattern. (A) Fast cine 4 chamber view of a patient with an early MR jet pattern. The regurgitant jet is visible only during the early and mid portion of systole. (B) Fast cine 3 chamber view of a patient with a holosystolic MR jet pattern, The regurgitant jet is visible throughout systole. (C) SSFP 3 chamber view in a patient with a late MR jet pattern. The regurgitant jet is visible during the mid and late portion of systole. MR = mitral regurgitation.
