MoreCardio Valve is an innovative mobile tool designed to support echocardiography professionals in assessing the functionality of implanted prosthetic cardiac valves and in choosing the optimal valve before implantation.
When assessing an implanted valve, Cardio Valve uses patient characteristics and prosthesis parameters like peak velocity and VTI to determine if the valve is functioning normally, if there's patient-prosthesis mismatch, or if there's intrinsic prosthesis dysfunction.
For optimal prosthesis selection, Cardio Valve requires the user to input the valve position (aortic/mitral) and patient characteristics (weight/height). It then instantly indicates the minimum Effective Orifice Area (EOA) needed to avoid Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM).
The algorithms within Cardio Valve are derived from extensive research of published materials specifically focusing on the assessment of aortic and mitral prosthetic valve function.
Cardio Valve is currently supported on iPhone and iPod devices, indicating compatibility with Apple's mobile operating system.
The latest version of Cardio Valve is 3.0, which was last updated on September 14, 2017. This suggests updates are not very frequent.
Cardio Valve has an age rating of 17+, suggesting it contains content or requires a level of understanding suitable for adults or older teenagers.
No, Cardio Valve does not contain advertisements. The app is free to download and use without any ad interruptions.
