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 interpret MR Jet Area.
 

Step 1: Obtain a CFD of the largest MR Jet. The jet area is indicative of the degree of mitral regurgitation.  The major factors that can influence the jet area need to be accounted for on each interrogation of the mitral valve.  Those factors are:

  • Ejection Fraction
  • Aliasing Velocity
  • Color Gain
  • Blood Pressure

Low EF will falsely lower the jet size.  Low Aliasing velocity (should be around 50 cm/sec) will falsely enlarge the jet area.  High color gain will falsely enlarge the jet area.  Low blood pressure may falsely lower the jet area (interpret the jet area with a blood pressure of 150 systolic, if possible).
