Evaluation of mitral valve area by the proximal isovelocity surface area method in mitral stenosis: could it be simplified?2007 •
One limitation for a wider use of the proximal isovelocity surface area method (PISA) for the evaluation of the mitral valve area (MVA) in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) is the requirement of an angle correction factor (angle alpha between the mitral leaflets) which cannot be obtained using the machine's built-in software and requires a manual measurement. The aim of the present study was to evaluate if the use of a fixed angle could provide an acceptable MVA estimation. In 48 patients (53 +/- 14 years, 75% female and 32% atrial fibrillation), MVA was prospectively measured by planimetry (MVA(2D)) and PISA (PISA(mes)). The angle alpha was manually measured on paper prints using a protractor. MVA(2D) was 1.38 +/- 0.56 cm(2) [0.5-2.40]. PISA(mes) (alpha = 104 +/- 13 degrees inter-quartiles 90-115) was 1.34 +/- 0.64 cm(2) [0.31-2.95] and did not differ from and correlated well with MVA(2D) (P = 0.25; r = 0.93, P < 0.0001). MVA estimated using the PISA method and a fixed angl...

Clinical application in routine practice of the proximal flow convergence method to calculate the mitral surface area in mitral valve stenosis2002 •
Background: Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography planimetry, the Doppler pression half-time (PHT), and the continuity equation methods were used to estimate mitral valve area (MVA) in patients with mitral stenosis (MS). Recently, the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method has been shown to be accurate for calculating MVA. The purpose of this study is (1) to compare in a large non-selected population

Comparison of mitral valve area by pressure half-time and proximal isovelocity surface area method in patients with mitral stenosis: effect of net atrioventricular compliance2011 •
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that, unlike calculation of the mitral valve area (MVA) with the pressure half-time method (PHT), the proximal isovelocity surface area method (PISA) is not affected by changes in net atrioventricular compliance (C(n)). We studied 51 patients with mitral stenosis (MS) from two centres. MVA was assessed with the PISA (MVA(PISA)), PHT (MVA(PHT)), and planimetry (MVA(PLN), serving as the gold standard) method. C(n) was calculated with a previously validated equation using 2D echocardiography. MVA(PISA) closely correlated with MVA(PLN) (r = 0.96, P < 0.0001), while MVA(PHT) and MVA(PLN) showed a weaker but still good correlation (r = 0.69, P < 0.0001). The correlation between MVA(PHT) and MVA(PLN) for patients with C(n) between 4 and 6 mL/mmHg (considered to be normal) was excellent (r = 0.93, P < 0.0001), but that for patients with C(n) of less than 4 or more than 6 mL/mmHg was not as good (r = 0.64, P < 0.0001). Importantly,...

Hemodynamic Evaluation of Stenotic Cardiac Valves: II. Modification of the Simplified Valve Formula for Mitral and Aortic Valve Area Calculation1985 •
Key words: aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, valve area ... Valve area calculation has proven to be a useful method to evaluate stenotic valves. In 1951, Gorlin and Gorlin [l] proposed the hydraulic formulae still in use. According to them, valve area depends on cardiac output (CO), ...
