Valvular heart disease:
The measurements of all levels of severity of tricuspid regurgitation in
the parasternal/short (κ =1, p<0.001) and apical 4-chamber
views were identical in their agreement (κ =1, p<0.001).
The measurements of all levels of severity of mitral regurgitation in
the apical 3-chamber were identical in their agreement (κ =1,
p<0.001), moderate and moderate to severe grades in the
parasternal/long were strong in their agreement (κ =0.82,
p<0.001), and mild grades were moderate in agreement in the
apical 4-chamber (κ =0.76, p<0.001).
The measurements of aortic stenosis (all levels of severity) in
parasternal/long (κ =0.42, p<0.001) and parasternal/short (κ
=0.47, p<0.001) were weak in their level of agreement.
