Abstract
Our purpose was to determine the reproducibility and variability of re peat measurements of tricuspid regurgitation severity obtained by colo r flow Doppler echocardiography in randomly selected patients. The mea surement of right atrial area was variable between different observers ; however, quantitation of tricuspid regurgitation with color Doppler is a reproducible method with an acceptable error of measurement.
