Abstract

In 50 patients with aortic regurgitation, color-coded two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography (2-DD) and aortic root angiography (A) were performed in order to examine the reliability and applicability of the following parameters of the regurgitant jet in quantitating aortic regurgitation: maximal jet length (JL), maximal longitudinal area (JA), width at the origin of the jet (JW), and cross-sectional area at the origin of the jet (JC). The different measurements could be obtained in 76% (JL), 52% (JA), 92% (JW) and 80% (JC), respectively. The following correlations to angiography were found: JL: r = 0.43 (n = 38), p
