The Pulmonary Regurgitation Calculation section covers the basic calculations for pulmonary regurgitation. The calculations covered are:
Regurgitant Volume (RV) by Continuity Equation (CE)
Regurgitant Volume (RV by Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area (PISA)
Regurgitant Fraction (RF) by Continuity Equation (CE)
Regurgitant Fraction by Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area (PISA)
Pressure Half-Time (PHT)
Regurgitant Flow Rate (RFR) by Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area (PISA)
Effective Regurgitant Orifice (ERO) by Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area (PISA)
Effective Regurgitant Orifice (ERO) by Continuity Equation (CE)
Decay Slope
Jet Width
Jet Area
Each calculation has advantages and disadvantages. Please consult the educational section for more information or follow the links in the calculation page.
