Quantification of aortic regurgitation using continuous and pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography
International Journal of Cardiology(1990)
摘要
In a prospective blind study, continuous and pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography were used to predict the severity of angiographically assessed aortic regurgitation in 36 patients. High quality continuous wave spectral recordings of the regurgitant jet were obtained in 32 patients but four patients with mild aortic regurgitation had dropout of high velocity signals precluding accurate assessment. The deceleration slope of the peak to end-diastolic velocity measured by continuous wave Doppler, and pulsed wave Doppler mapping of the regurgitant jet in the left ventricle were compared with angiographic severity. The deceleration slope was significantly steeper in patients with severe rather than mild or moderate aortic regurgitation (3.65 ± 1.04 vs. 1.89 ± 0.42 vs. 1.52 ± 0.59 m sec−2). A decay slope of greater than 3 m sec−2 was observed only in patients with 3 + or 4 + aortic regurgitation and a decay slope less than 1.2 m sec−2 was seen only in mild 1 + aortic regurgitation but there was considerable overlap between groups, making it difficult in individual cases to assess severity on the basis of the continuous wave deceleration slope. The pulsed wave Doppler technique was more time consuming, added little to the continuous wave Doppler assessment and under-estimated severe regurgitation in almost 50% of cases. Hence, there are significant problems using either Doppler technique in quantitatively assessing aortic regurgitation.
