Investigating the shortcomings of the Flow Convergence Method for quantification of Mitral Regurgitation in a pulsatile in-vitro environment and with Computational Fluid Dynamics

Robin Leister, Roger Karl, Lubov Stroh +12

The flow convergence method includes calculation of the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) and is widely used to classify mitral regurgitation (MR) with echocardiography. It…
