Doppler reconstruction of left ventricular pressure from functional mitral regurgitation: potential importance of varying orifice geometry.

Journal article

OBJECTIVE: To assess the left ventricular pressure pulse, in particular its time course, reconstructed from the continuous wave Doppler signal of functional mitral regurgitation using the simplified Bernoulli equation. DESIGN: Prospective study with simultaneously recorded high fidelity left ventricular pressure and continuous wave Doppler traces of functional mitral regurgitation, along with indirect left atrial pressure, electrocardiograms, and phonocardiograms. SETTING: Tertiary referral c...
