The Tango formula as a simplified Doppler-only alternative for aortic valve area estimation: a single-centre pilot and proof-of-concept study with intra- and inter-observer reproducibility analysis
2026-05-04
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background. Accurate aortic valve area (AVA) estimation is central to aortic stenosis (AS) severity grading. The continuity equation (CE) is the reference echocardiographic method but is vulnerable to squared-error propagation from left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) diameter measurement. The Tango formula (TF) estimates AVA from three continuous-wave Doppler parameters obtained from...
