What is the formula for Pisa?
PISA EROA = 2 x π x r2 x Nyquist. Peak MR velocity. PISA EROA = 6.28 x r2 x Nyquist. Peak MR velocity.
What does PISA mean in Echo?
The proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) measurement, also known as the "flow convergence" method, can be used in echocardiography to estimate the area of an orifice through which blood flows. It has many applications, but this review focuses only on its use in the intraoperative evaluation of mitral regurgitation.
How is eroa calculated by Pisa?
EROA can be calculated as the product of 2πR2 x Aliasing Velocity ÷ Peak Velocity of MR (peak velocity not shown). The vena contracta is indicated as the distance between the two arrows. EROA = effective regurgitant orifice area; PISA = proximal isovelocity surface area.
How is Ero calculated?
ERO = VFR/Vmax
