Echo Doppler
100

A patient undergoes echocardiographic assessment to quantify mitral regurgitation using the quantitative Doppler method. The following measurements are obtained:

  • Aortic annulus diameter = 2.3 cm
  • Aortic annulus Time Velocity Integral (TVI) = 17 cm
  • Mitral annulus diameter = 4.3 cm
  • Mitral annulus Time Velocity Integral (TVI) = 15 cm

Using these values, calculate the regurgitant volume (mL/beat) for this patient.
