qualitative methods and 2D assessmentOptions:PISA (Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area)Regurgitant volumeRegurgitant fractionEffective regurgitant orifice area (EROA)

PISA
It’s the surface area of blood moving back from the aorta towards the closed aortic valve at the given aliasing velocity

• Regurgitant Volume =Volume of blood that regurgitates across the valve
per beatVolumes calculated according to continuity equation RegrugV = SV total – SV forwardSV total = Transaortic volume =CSA LVOT x VTI LVOTSV forward = Transmitral volume = CSA mitral
annulus x VTI mitral annulus
![Page 41: Echo assessment of Aortic Regurgitation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f1afa11a28ab81618b4625/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• SV total can be measure by LVEDV – LEVSV (Simpsons method)
• For SV forward or transmitral volume PW doppler at the level of MV; should be used not at mitral tip

Regurg. Volume calculated by PISA method
Regurg Volume = EROA x VTI AR jet
Mild AR < 30ml/ beat Severe AR ≥ 60ml/ beat

• Regurgitation fraction = Regurg V/ SV total
Mild AR < 30 %Severe AR ≥ 50%

• EROA (Effective regurgitation orifice area)
= PISA x aliasing velocity / AR Vmax or = Regurg V / VTI AR jet
Mild AR < 0.1 cm sq. Severe ≥ 0.3 cm sq.

TEE in AR
• Complement TTE• Better visualization of valve morphology and
aortic root dimensions e.g., Endocarditis Aortic dissection

Indirect sign of AR
• Increased EPSS• Fluttering of mitral leaflet• Reverse doming of the anterior mitral leaflet
