    Aortic Insufficiency
       
       
                   
    Patient Height in meters = Patient Weight in kilograms = Patient BSA in meters^2 =    
                   
       
                   
    AR LV End Systolic Dimension in cm = AR LV ESD mm/m2 BSA =    
               
     Survival of AR pts with LVESD >= 25mm/m2 BSA is lower than expected. Circ 99:1851.

    Mild Aortic Regurgitation: (1) AR jet width/LVOT diameter <25%; (2)  AR jet area /LVOT area <10%; (3) AI PHT >400 ms; (4) Descending aorta brief early diastolic reversal; (5) Continuous Wave Doppler density faint; (6) Regurgitant fraction <20%, regurgitant volume <25 ml, Effective Regurgitant Orifice <0.10 cm2; (7) LVEDD <60 mm.
