Now that we have covered all the methods for evaluating mitral regurgitation (MR), let's put it to use! The ASE released an algorithm as a guide to help determine the severity of chronic MR, using both qualitative, semi-quantitative & quantitative measures.
We understand how crazy this...

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:

As technology advances and we are encouraged to implement additional measurements into our routine scanning exams, it's good to take a step back and refresh on proper techniques! Our goal for this blog is to have a better understanding of proper technique for measuring left ventricle (LV)...

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...
