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. J.S. Child, 2004.
