Term Description

The effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) is the size of the defect where the valve leaflets are not aligning normally (coaptation defect). The severity of regurgitation is related to the EROA. EROA can be calculated by the Volumetric method as regurgitant volume divided by the velocity time integral of the regurgitant jet velocity (VTIRegJet), which is recorded by continuous wave Doppler.

Part Description

LP72534-8   Effective regurgitant orifice area
Cardiac valve area can be measured (orifice area) or indirectly calculated (effective orifice area). Direct measurement can be done on echo, and calculations are based on other measurements such as blood flow volume and velocity. [DICOM] The effective orifice area is calculated based on the equation F=A×V, where F is flow, A is area and V is velocity. The velocity is measured directly with Doppler echo and indirectly during cardiac catheterization based on the Torricelli law from the transvalvular pressure gradient: V=√2gh, where g is the velocity of acceleration resulting from gravity and h is the pressure gradient. Therefore, for area as measured by cardiac catheterization, the formula is A=F/√2gh. PMID: 22547754 Source: Regenstrief LOINC , PMID: 22547754
