BACKGROUND: Spatiotemporal complexity of the color Doppler vena contracta challenging the assumption of a circular and constant orifice may lead to mitral regurgitation (MR) grading inconsistencies. Using 3D transesophageal echocardiography, we characterized spatiotemporal vena contracta complexity and its impact on MR severity grading.
METHODS: In 192 patients with suspected moderate or severe MR (100 primary MR [PMR]; 92 secondary MR [SMR]), we performed three-dimensional vena contracta area (VCA) quantification using single-frame (midsystolic or VCAmid, maximum or VCAmax) and multiframe (VCAmean) methods, as well as measures of orifice shape (shape index) and systolic variation of VCA. Vena contracta complexity and intermethod discrepancies were analyzed and correlated with functional class and pulmonary vein flow (PVF) patterns and with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in a subset of cases (n = 20).
RESULTS: The vena contracta was noncircular (shape index > 1.5) in 90% of patients. Severe noncircularity (shape index > 3) was more prevalent in SMR than in PMR (32.4% vs 14.6%). Variations of the VCA were more prominent in SMR than in PMR. VCAmid showed a low grading agreement with VCAmax (62%) and high grading agreement with VCAmean (83.3%). Pulmonary vein flow systolic reversal was associated with MR severity by VCA in SMR but not in PMR. VCAmid and VCAmean showed a stronger association with systolic flow reversal than VCAmax (area under the curve, 0.88, 0.86, and 0.79, respectively). In the subset of patients with CMR quantification, severe MR by VCAmax was graded as nonsevere by CMR more frequently compared with VCAmid and VCAmean.
CONCLUSIONS: Highly prevalent spatiotemporal vena contracta complexity features in MR challenge the assumption of a circular and constant orifice. VCAmid seems the best single-frame approximation to multiframe quantification, and VCAmax may lead to severity overestimation.
