Degree of aortic regurgitation by Jet area/LVOT area
Echocardiography Simulator
What about a little bit of theory before beginning simulation? >>>
- From the List <<Patients>> Choose Patient 5.
- From the List <<Positions>> Choose Parasternal Short Ao (Left Parasternal View, Short axis of Ao) or find the same position with 3D Transducer.
- Click the button <<Color>>
Left Parasternal View, the short axis at the level of Ao valve. Color Doppler.
- Click the button <<Freeze>> to freeze image. Using Slider find the best frame of aotic regurgitation jet.
- Click Button <<Calculations>> Click Tab <<Ao Reg>> Click Radio Button <<Area reg >> (Calculator Area reg / CSA Lvot).
- Click the button <<Curve>> measure regurgitation jet area by tracing around it.
- Click the button <<Enter>>.
Left Parasternal View, the short axis at the level of Ao valve. Color Doppler. Measurement of the regurgitation jet area.
- From the List <<Positions>> Choose Parasternal Long (Left Parasternal View, Long axis of LV) or find the same position with 3D Transducer.
- Click the button <<Freeze>> to freeze image.
- Click the button <<Line>> measure Diameter of LVOT (Left Ventricular Outflow Tract). Calculator will automaticly calculate CSA LVOT.
- Click the button <<Enter>>.
- In the Tab <<Ao Reg>> Click the button <<Calculate>>
Left Parasternal View, the Long axis of LV, Measurement of the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) Diameter. Using this parameter, the Echocardiography calculator will measure LVOT Area.
