Recent development of the automated cardiac flow measurement (ACFM) method has provided automated measurement of stroke volume and cardiac output by spatial and temporal integration of digital Doppler velocity profile data. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the ACFM method using digital color Doppler velocity profile integration in the assessment of mitral regurgitant volume and regurgitant fraction from measurements of both aortic outflow and mitral inflow volumes. We calculated both aortic outflow and mitral inflow volumes from the apical approach with the ACFM and pulsed Doppler (PD) methods in 20 patients with isolated mitral regurgitation. Mitral regurgitant volume and regurgitant fraction were calculated by the following equation: mitral regurgitant volume = (mitral inflow volume) - (aortic outflow volume), % regurgitant fraction = (mitral regurgitant volume)/(mitral inflow volume) x 100. Mitral regurgitant volume and regurgitant fraction were compared with that determined by the PD method. Mitral regurgitant volume measurement by the ACFM method showed a good correlation with that measured by the PD method (r = 0.90, y = 0.77x + 11.6, SEE = 9.0 ml); the mean differences between PD and ACFM measurements was -1.7 +/- 12.5 ml. Regurgitant fraction estimated by the ACFM method correlated well with that of the PD method (r = 0.92, y = 0.98x + 2.1, SEE = 8.8%). The mean difference for the measurement of regurgitant fraction between the PD and ACFM methods was 0.8 +/- 6.6%. Total time required for mitral regurgitant volume calculation in 1 cardiac cycle by the ACFM method was significantly shorter than that of the PD method (126 +/- 15 seconds vs 228 +/- 36 seconds, p <0.01). In conclusion, the newly developed ACFM method is simple, quick, and accurate in the automated assessment of mitral regurgitant volume and regurgitant fraction. |
