Abstrakt: Doppler echocardiographic characteristics of normally functioning Hancock and Björk-Shiley prostheses in the mitral and aortic positions were studied in 50 patients whose valvular function was considered normal by clinical evaluation. Doppler studies were also performed in 46 patients with suspected malfunction of Hancock and Björk-Shiley valves and who subsequently underwent cardiac catheterization. Mean gradients were estimated for both mitral and aortic valve prostheses and valve area was calculated for the mitral prostheses.
