Our blog last week discussed the algorithm for determining the severity of chronic mitral regurgitation, provided by the ASE! If you missed it, you can find it here! Let’s use this information and work through a case study together!
This week we are going to cover our last of the three quantification methods for evaluating the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR). The past two weeks we discussed PISA and stroke volume methods. If you missed them or would like to refresh, you can find them there:
Last week we discussed 1 of the 3 ways to quantify the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR), using the PISA method (proximal isovelocity surface area). If you missed it, you can find it here! This week, we are going to explain the second method– stroke volume method & provide a case example on how it’s performed! Our goal is to help you easily understand the concept and process of implementing the stroke volume method for evaluation of MR into your echo lab!
Over the past two months, we have provided ample amount of information regarding evaluation of mitral regurgitation. The goal of this blog is to discuss the 3 variables we use in quantifying the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) and explain the first method to obtaining these values!
