Estimation of Contraction Coefficient of Gorlin Equation for Assessment of Aortic Valve Area in Aortic Stenosis

Abstract: Background: The Gorlin equation is the reference method for the assessment of aortic valve area in aortic stenosis and is calculated using a constant, called the coefficient of contraction, which is empirically assumed to be 1. This coefficient is the ratio of effective aortic area to anatomic aortic area, and a value of 1 indicates that both are the same. The purpose of this study was to estimate the actual coefficient of contraction in patients with aortic stenosis and to evaluate its impact on aortic area a… Show more

“…3E), leading to overestimated values of flow velocities predicted by the continuity equation (Fig. 3, D and G) (35,36). Conversely, by mimicking the biomechanics of the native heart in both physiology and disease, we overcame these limitations and recreated both pressure and flow in a more clinically relevant manner (Fig.…”
