Assessment of chronic aortic regurgitation using end-diastolic flow reversal in the upper descending aorta: diagnostic accuracy and prediction of aortic valve surgery in a prospective echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study
EFR is a robust and reliable parameter for AR assessment, particularly in distinguishing moderate from severe AR, and should be incorporated into comprehensive echocardiographic assessment. However, VC demonstrated stronger prognostic relevance for predicting surgical intervention.
