Quantification of tricuspid regurgitation by measuring the width of the vena contracta with Doppler color flow imaging: a clinical study.
OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the vena contracta width (VCW) measured using color Doppler as an index of severity of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). BACKGROUND The VCW is a reliable measure of mitral and aortic regurgitation, but its value in measuring TR is uncertain. METHODS In 71 consecutive patients with TR, the VCW was prospectively measured using color Doppler and compared with the re...
متن کاملAssessment of severity of aortic regurgitation using the width of the vena contracta: A clinical color Doppler imaging study.
BACKGROUND The width of the vena contracta (VC-W), the smallest area of regurgitant flow, reflects the degree of valvular regurgitation and is measurable by color Doppler imaging, but this method has not been validated in aortic regurgitation (AR). METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively examined 79 patients with isolated AR and 80 patients without regurgitation. The VC-W was measured from the l...
متن کاملAssessment of Mitral Regurgitation Severity by Doppler Color Flow Mapping of the Vena Contracta in Dogs
BACKGROUND Although Doppler color flow mapping is widely used to assess the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR), a simple, accurate, and quantitative marker of MR by color flow mapping remains elusive. We hypothesized that vena contracta width by color flow mapping would accurately predict the severity of MR. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 80 patients with MR. Vena contracta width was measu...
متن کاملAssessment of aortic regurgitation by transesophageal color Doppler imaging of the vena contracta: validation against an intraoperative aortic flow probe.
OBJECTIVES This study was performed to validate the accuracy of color flow vena contracta (VC) measurements of aortic regurgitation (AR) severity by comparing them to simultaneous intraoperative flow probe measurements of regurgitant fraction (RgF) and regurgitant volume (RgV). BACKGROUND Color Doppler imaging of the vena contracta has emerged as a simple and reliable measure of the severity ...
متن کاملComparison of vena contracta width by multiplane transesophageal echocardiography with quantitative Doppler assessment of mitral regurgitation.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) severity is routinely assessed by Doppler color flow mapping, which is subject to technical and hemodynamic variables. Vena contracta width may be less influenced by hemodynamic variables and has previously been shown to correlate with angiographic estimates of MR severity. This study was performed to compare mitral vena contracta width by multiplane transesophageal ec...
