pubmed:abstractText
The flow convergence region (FCR), a zone of progressive laminar velocity acceleration, can be imaged by color Doppler proximal to stenotic and regurgitant orifices. Theoretically, FCR proximal to a discrete circular and planar orifice consists of concentric hemispheric shells of equal and accelerating velocities centered at the orifice. According to the continuity principle, flow rate across any of these isovelocity surfaces equals flow rate through the orifice. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these principles could be applied to quantify left-to-right shunting and the size of atrial septal defects after balloon mitral commissurotomy.
