OBJECTIVE To evaluate the load dependence of effective regurgitant orifice area (ROA) in an animal model of chronic aortic regurgitation. METHODS Eight sheep were studied 10-20 weeks after the surgical creation of aortic regurgitation. After baseline studies, 500 ml of blood, angiotensin II, and nitroprusside were infused sequentially. Electromagnetic flow meters were used as reference standards to determine aortic regurgitation volume. The time-velocity integral was acquired using the continuous wave Doppler method. RESULTS Baseline aortic regurgitant volume varied from 8 ml (regurgitant fraction 28%) to 29 ml (59%), with a mean (SD) value of 17 (8) ml; mean ROA was 0.15 (0.05) cm2. During angiotensin II infusion, aortic regurgitation volume (20 (8) ml) and mean diastolic aortoventricular pressure gradient (62 (18) mm Hg) increased by 26 (16)% and 48 (64)%, respectively (p < 0.01 for both). ROA did not change (0.16 (0.06) cm(2), p = 0.15). During nitroprusside infusion, aortic regurgitant volume (13 (7) ml, p = 0.05) and diastolic pressure gradient (25 (13) mm Hg, p < 0.05) decreased. ROA did not change (0.15 (0.05) cm2). When analysing 32 stages together, aortic regurgitant volume (r = 0.78, p < 0.01) and regurgitant fraction (r = 0.55, p < 0.01) correlated well with ROA. However, diastolic pressure gradient (r = 0.28) was not significantly correlated with ROA. CONCLUSIONS In an animal model of chronic aortic regurgitation, ROA did not change with load alterations.

Dynamic nature of the aortic regurgitant orifice area during diastole in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation.

BACKGROUND The effective aortic regurgitant orifice area varies with aortic pressure in animal models of acute aortic regurgitation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the aortic regurgitant orifice area changes during diastole in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation. METHODS AND RESULTS Two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography were performed immediately before and a...

[Usefulness of vasodilator therapy in regurgitant valvular diseases].

Mitral and aortic valve regurgitation both lead to left ventricle volume overload, but have different pathophysiology. Preload is increased in mitral regurgitation whereas afterload is normal since part of the ejection flow goes to the left atrium; however, both preand afterload are increased in aortic regurgitation. When the regurgitations are chronic, the ventricle adapts by increasing the vo...

Influence of aortic pressure on effective regurgitant orifice area in aortic regurgitation.

BACKGROUND The regurgitant volume in aortic regurgitation is determined by the diastolic filling period, the pressure gradient between the left ventricle and aorta, and the hemodynamic size of the regurgitant orifice area. METHODS AND RESULTS To test the hypothesis that the aortic regurgitant orifice area is related to aortic pressure and aortic root size, 16 fresh calf heart and aorta specim...

Acute mitral regurgitation (MR) was produced in 12 dogs by closed chest partial valvulectomy and the relative contributions of MR pressure gradient (MRG), the time for regurgitant flow (VSI), and the MR orifice area (MRA) to mitral regurgitant volume (MRV) assessed. Aortic and left atrial pressures, biplane left ventricular (LV) angiography, forward flow and mitral regurgitant flow (MRF) were m...
