Abstract
During the last few years a number of reports regarding the possibility to detect and quantify valve regurgitation with ultrasound doppler by measuring distance of intrusion of the regurgitant jet have appeared in the literature [1–4]. These reports are based purely on empirical data where ultrasound doppler and angiography are compared. The theory behind jet intrusion has not been considered. Some investigators, however, have failed to confirm the above findings [5–8]. This fact has led us to make model experiments and a theoretical analysis of the hydrodynamics of valve regurgitation in order to clarify the importance of different factors influencing the distance of jet intrusion [8]. One way to approach a complicated hydrody- namic problem is to present an application from common life.
