Degree of aortic regurgitation by Jet width / LVOT diameter

What about a little bit of theory before beginning simulation? >>>

PRACTICE IN THE SIMULATOR

How to perform this examination

1. Run Echocardiography Online Simulator

1. From the List <<Patients>> Choose Patient 5.
2. From the List <<Positions>> Choose Parasternal Long (Left Parasternal View, Long axis of LV) or find the same position with 3D Transducer.
3. Click the button <<Color>>.
