Aortic Stenosis Recommendations on the Echocardiographic Assessment of Aortic Valve Stenosis: A Focused Update from the EACVI and the ASE (2017)
Mitral regurgitation Bolded qualitative and semiquantitative signs are considered specific for their MR grade. All parameters have limitations, and an integrated approach must be used that weighs the strength of each echocardiographic measurement. All signs and measures should be interpreted in an individualized manner that accounts for body size, sex, and all other patient characteristics. (1) This pertains mostly t

PDA Severity Score (PDAsc) — Explanation and Clinical Context The PDA Severity Score (PDAsc) is a multivariable echocardiography-based prognostic index developed to quantify early hemodynamic significance of a patent ductus arteriosus in very preterm infants and predict the composite outcome of chronic lung disease or death before discharge. The score combines gestational age, echocardiographic PDA diameter (pulmonar
Peak TRV Risk Stratification: Explanation and Clinical Context Peak tricuspid regurgitant velocity (TRV) is a key echocardiographic parameter used to estimate pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and assess the probability of pulmonary hypertension (PH). It is derived from continuous-wave Doppler measurement of the tricuspid regurgitation jet and incorporated into the simplified Bernoulli equation (ΔP = 4 × TRV²
Pericardial Effusion Tamponade Index (PETI): Explanation and Clinical Context The Pericardial Effusion Tamponade Index (PETI) is a quantitative echocardiographic score designed to assess the hemodynamic significance of pericardial effusion and predict the risk of cardiac tamponade. It combines the durations of right atrial and right ventricular collapse observed during echocardiography with the maximum width of the p
PROSPECT Echo Score: Explanation and Clinical Context The PROSPECT Echo Score is designed to predict the likelihood of a positive response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) based on echocardiographic and electrocardiographic parameters. Key variables include LVESV reduction percentage, QRS duration, mitral regurgitation severity, and left ventricular dyssynchrony index. Each parameter that meets a threshold
Pulmonary Valve Annulus (PVA) Z-score — explanation and clinical context This calculator implements the regression equations published by Pettersen et al. (J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2008) to compute a z-score for the pulmonary valve annulus relative to body size. Pettersen and colleagues derived nonlinear polynomial regression models on the natural-log transformed echocardiographic measurements against body surface area
Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) Estimate Using TRV/VTIRVOT: Explanation and Clinical Context Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is a critical parameter in assessing pulmonary hypertension. The TRV/VTIRVOT method provides a non-invasive echocardiographic estimate of PVR, based on the relationship between the peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) and the right ventricular outflow tract time-velocity integral
