Pssst! It's me, the website.

I just wanted to let you know that even though I'm looking quite old, I'm still a millenial.
So I just had a "New Year, New Me" moment and my resolution is to become a new and improved version of myself in a couple of weeks.
Don't worry, my wisdom won't change. You're still going to find the same useful information here. Stay tuned!

How to get an MVA by PHT.
 
Step 1: Obtain a PWD or a CWD of the mitral valve. The flow profile of the mitral valve will have a Vmax, typically the maximum velocity of the E wave. The time from the Vmax to the velocity equal to Vmax divided by 1.4 is the pressure half time. (Vmax / 1.4 is equivalent to the half pressure). 220 divided by the PHT is the mitral valve area.
