Pressure recovery is not taken into account when calculating trans-prosthetic gradients after mechanical valve replacement using Doppler echocardiography. This may lead to underestimation of valvular performance.
Simultaneous measurement of Doppler and direct trans-prosthetic gradients was performed in a circulatory mock loop simulator with physiologic parameters at different heart rates and cardiac outputs for small-sized aortic Omnicarbon tilting disc valves (19 - 21 mm).
In all adjustments the Doppler gradient significantly overestimated the net transvalvular gradient. The amount of pressure recovery averaged 59.3 %.
Doppler echocardiography does not allow for pressure recovery, which is a significant phenomenon in the hemodynamic function of the Omnicarbon tilting disc valve. Valve performance is much better than expected from Doppler gradients.
使用多普勒超声心动图计算机械瓣膜置换术后的跨瓣膜压差时,未考虑压力恢复情况。这可能导致对瓣膜性能的低估。
在循环模拟回路模拟器中,针对小尺寸主动脉全碳倾斜碟瓣(19 - 21毫米),在不同心率和心输出量的生理参数下,同时测量多普勒和直接跨瓣膜压差。
在所有调整中,多普勒压差显著高估了净跨瓣膜压差。压力恢复量平均为59.3%。
多普勒超声心动图未考虑压力恢复情况,而压力恢复在全碳倾斜碟瓣的血流动力学功能中是一个显著现象。瓣膜性能比根据多普勒压差预期的要好得多。
