Optimal Quantification of Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Comparison of Volumetric and Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area Methods to Predict Outcome [PDF]
Background Effective orifice area (EOA) ≥0.2 cm2 or regurgitant volume (Rvol) ≥30 mL predicts prognostic significance in functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).

Radius of proximal isovelocity surface area in the assessment of rheumatic mitral stenosis: Connecting flow to anatomy and hemodynamics [PDF]
Background: Echocardiographic assessment of left atrial pressure (LAP) in mitral stenosis (MS) is controversial. We sought to examine the role of the radius of the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA-r) in the assessment of the hemodynamic status of ...

Quantification of Mitral Valve Regurgitation in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Chihuahuas Using Radius of Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area [PDF]
Mitral regurgitation (MR) resulting from myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is a prevalent condition in dogs, particularly smaller breeds like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCSs) and Chihuahuas (CHHs).

Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation of tricuspid regurgitation severity using proximal isovelocity surface area: comparison with volumetric method [PDF]
Background The quantification of tricuspid regurgitation(TR) using three-dimensional(3D) proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) derived effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) is feasible in functional TR.

Assessment of chronic aortic regurgitation using end-diastolic flow reversal in the upper descending aorta: diagnostic accuracy and prediction of aortic valve surgery in a prospective echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]
Background This study aimed to assess the utility of end-diastolic flow reversal in the upper descending aorta (EFR) for echocardiographic grading of aortic regurgitation (AR) severity, using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) as the reference ...
