Degree of aortic regurgitation by Jet area/LVOT area

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 Short Ao (Left Parasternal View, Short axis of Ao) or find the same position with 3D Transducer.
3. Click the button <<Color>>

Left Parasternal View, the short axis at the level of Ao valve. Color Doppler.

PRACTICE IN THE SIMULATOR

1. Click the button <<Freeze>> to freeze image. Using Slider find the best frame of aotic regurgitation jet.
2. Click Button <<Calculations>> Click Tab <<Ao Reg>> Click Radio Button <<Area reg >> (Calculator Area reg / CSA Lvot).
3. Click the button <<Curve>> measure regurgitation jet area by tracing around it.
4. Click the button <<Enter>>.

PRACTICE IN THE SIMULATOR

1. From the List <<Positions>> Choose Parasternal Long (Left Parasternal View, Long axis of LV) or find the same position with 3D Transducer.
2. Click the button <<Freeze>> to freeze image.
3. Click the button <<Line>> measure Diameter of LVOT (Left Ventricular Outflow Tract). Calculator will automaticly calculate CSA LVOT.
4. Click the button <<Enter>>.
5. In the Tab <<Ao Reg>> Click the button <<Calculate>>
