Estimation of regurgitant volume and orifice in aortic regurgitation combining CW Doppler and parameter estimation in a Windkessel-like model

Abstract

A method for noninvasive estimation of regurgitant orifice and volume in aortic regurgitation is proposed and tested in anesthetized open chested pigs. The method can be used with noninvasive measurement of regurgitant jet velocity with continuous wave ultrasound Doppler measurements together with cuff measurements of systolic and diastolic systemic pressure in the arm. These measurements are then used for parameter estimation in a Windkessel-like model which include the regurgitant orifice as a parameter. The aortic volume compliance and the peripheral resistance are also included as parameters measurements in the open chest pigs are used. Electromagnetic flow measurements in the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery are used for control, and a correlation between regurgitant volume obtained from parameter estimation and electromagnetic flow measurements of 0.95 over a range from 2.1 to 17.8 mL is obtained.
