Term Description

Angiography is one method for determining the degree of aortic valve regurgitation. The Sellers grading system, originally published in 1964, is based on the opacification of the left ventricle and is still used today. The Sellers grading system is as follows: 1) + = evidence of a jet of regurgitant contrast material without opacification of the left ventricle; 2) ++ = evidence of a regurgitant jet with faint opacification of the left ventricle; 3) +++ = dense opacification of the left ventricle without a distinct visible jet; and 4) ++++ = left ventricle is opacified more densely than the aorta.

Part Description

LP73274-0   Regurgitation degree
Regurgitation (also known as backflow) is a heart valve problem where, if a valve doesn't close tightly, blood leaks back into the chambers rather than flowing forward through the heart or into an artery. Regurgitation, especially that of the mitral valve, is often due to prolapse, which is when the leaflets of the valve flop or bulge back into the heart chamber during systole. The degree of regurgitation is associated with the extent of clinical symptoms.[NHLBI: hvd] Source: Regenstrief LOINC,
