Background and Purpose
Grading severity of chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) by echocardiography may be challenging in cases with few feasible parameters leading to diagnostic uncertainty. The aim of the present study was to transform left ventricular (LV) volume and diastolic flow reversal to quantitative parameters using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) as reference.
Methods
Patients (n = 120) were recruited either prospectively (n= 45, CMR performed < 4 hours) or retrospectively (n = 75, CMR performed < 21 days (median)). The latter comprised patients with echocardiographic uncertainty. LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) by Simpson biplane method and end-diastolic flow velocity (EDFV) in the proximal descending aorta were assessed. The patients were randomised to either a derivation (n = 60) or a test group (n = 60).
Results
Severe AR (regurgitant fraction by CMR > 33%) was present in 51% of the patients. In the derivation group, the area under the ROC curves for LVEDVI was 0.80 (95% CI 0.67-0.93) and for EDFV was 0.83 (95% CI 0.71-0.94). LVEDVI > 99 ml/m2 and ≤ 75 ml/m2 were useful to rule in and rule out severe AR, respectively. The corresponding for EDFV were > 17 cm/s and ≤ 10 cm/s. The diagnostic performances of the cut off values in the test group are presented in the Table.
Conclusions
LVEDVI and EDFV are useful quantitative parameters to rule in and rule out severe chronic AR in patients with diagnostic ambiguity. Combination of LVEDVI > 99 ml/m2 and EDFV > 17 cm/s is the most useful to rule in severe AR.
