The PISA Calculator for Regurgitation is an indispensable tool designed for cardiologists, sonographers, and other medical professionals assessing valvular heart disease. This calculator precisely quantifies the severity of valvular regurgitation by applying the Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area (PISA) method. By inputting key echocardiographic measurements, users can rapidly obtain an objective, standardized assessment of regurgitant volume and orifice area. This facilitates accurate diagnosis, guides optimal treatment strategies, and enhances patient management with reliable, data-driven insights. It provides a quick and authoritative assessment for better clinical decision-making.
PISA Method: Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area is used to quantify the severity of valvular regurgitation. EROA (Effective Regurgitant Orifice Area) ≥ 0.40 cm² (or 0.20 cm² for secondary MR) indicates severe mitral regurgitation.
