Effective mitral regurgitant orifice area: Clinical use and pitfalls of the proximal isovelocity surface area method

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 1995
Objectives.We attempted to determine the accuracy and pitfalls of calculating the mitral regurgitant orifice area with the proximal isovelocity surface area method in a clinical series that included patients with valvular prolapse and eccentric jets ...

Effect of Dynamic Flow Rate and Orifice Area on Mitral Regurgitant Stroke Volume Quantification Using the Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area Method

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008
ObjectivesThis study sought to determine the effect of dynamic variations of mitral regurgitant flow rate (MRFR) and effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) on mitral regurgitant stroke volume (MRSV) quantification using 4 different single-point and ...

Mitral Effective Regurgitant Orifice Area Predicts Pulmonary Artery Pressure Level in Patients with Aortic Valve Stenosis

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2018
Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) and elevated pulmonary artery pressure are common findings in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS). The pathophysiologic role of quantitatively defined MR as a determinant of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is ...

Clinical impact of mitral regurgitation in aortic valve stenosis: Insight from effective regurgitant orifice area

Echocardiography, 2021
AbstractPurposeMechanisms leading to heart failure (HF) symptoms in aortic valve stenosis (AS) are contentious. We examined the impact of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) on the symptomatic status in patients with AS.MethodsOutpatients performing echocardiography with any degree of AS, without organic mitral valve disease, mitral valve intervention,

Fluid mechanics of regurgitant jets and calculation of the effective regurgitant orifice in free or complex configurations

Journal of Biomechanics, 2000
The velocity fields of turbulent jets can be described using a single formula which includes two empirical constants: k(core) determining the length of the central core and k(turb) the jet widening. Flow models simulating jet adhesion, confinement and noncircular orifices were studied using laser Doppler anemometer and the modifications of the ...

Evaluation of Effective Aortic Regurgitant Orifice Area and Its Effect on Aortic Regurgitant Volume with Doppler Echocardiography

Angiology, 2000
The authors measured the aortic regurgitant orifice area (ROA) using Doppler echocar diography and attempted to clarify how important the ROA is in determining the regur gitant volume (RV) in 22 patients with chronic aortic regurgitation (AR).

Mitral valve navigator. A new diagnostic tool for effective regurgitant orifice quantification in mitral regurgitation

Echocardiography, 2018
IntroductionMitral regurgitation severity assessment is usually carried out using qualitative, semiquantitative, and quantitative parameters. The mitral valve navigation (MVN) tool allows to measure the mitral effective regurgitant orifice (MERO) from 3D echo datasets. Our aim was to validate the MVN as a new tool to quantify MERO.

Abstract 10890: A Simplified Method for Correction of Effective Regurgitant Orifice and Flow Underestimation by Pisa in Non-Circular Orifices: An in vitro Study

Circulation, 2022
Introduction: The proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method has been validated for quantifying severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) in orifices with circular geometry. However, functional MR often has an elliptical orifice, which alters the proximal isovelocity contour from a hemisphere to a hemi-ellipsoid.
