Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical effect of Doppler echocardiography in the diagnosis of mitral replacement surger-y.Methods 186 patients who had received mitral and aortic valve, double valve replacement with mechanical prosthetic valve in our hospital between December 2010 and December 2015 were selected.The echocardiography results of the patients were ana-lyzed before and after surgery.Results After the surgery, the LA and LV of all the patients were significantly lower than before surgery, and RV, LVEF and LVFS were significantly higher than before, with statistically significant difference ( P <0.05).For patients with mitral stenosis, the LA, LAA, LV, LAV, MPGmv, VTImv and PHTmv after the surgery were all lower than before the surgery, and the differences were significant ( P <0.05) .Postoperative EOAmv and EOAImv were shown to be significantly higher than fore surgery, where the difference was significant ( P <0.05) .For patients with mitral regurgitation, the LA and LV after the surgery were both lower than before the surgery, and the difference was significant ( P <0.05).For patients with aortic valve stenosis, the LA, LAM, IVS Vav and MPGav after the surgery were all lower than before the surgery, and the differences were significant ( P <0.05);Postoperative EOAav and EOAIav were shown to be significantly higher than fore surgery, where the difference was significant ( P <0.05).For patients with aortic regurgitation, the LA, LAMI, EOAav and EOAIav after the surgery were all lower than before the surgery, and the differences were significant ( P <0.05); Postoperative Vav and PGav were shown to be significantly higher than fore surgery, where the difference was significant ( P <0.05).The proportion of mis-match between heart valve prosthesis and mitral valve was less than that between heart valve prosthesis and aortic valve, and the difference was significant ( P <0.05) .Conclusion For patients with valvular heart disease, double valve replacement can im-prove left ventricular function and hemodynamic indicators, but cannot help to return to normal.Therefore, attention should be paid to and effective preventive measures should be taken for the mismatch between heart valve prosthesis and aortic valve.
