FAQ
What is Valve PPM used for?
Valve PPM is designed to support echocardiography professionals in assessing the functionality of implanted prosthetic cardiac valves and in selecting the optimal valve before implantation.
Does Valve PPM have ads?
No, Valve PPM does not contain advertisements.
What information does Valve PPM provide for checking valve function?
After selecting a valve type and inputting patient characteristics (weight/height) and prosthesis parameters (peak velocity, mean gradient, VTI prosthesis, VTI LVOT, LVOTd), Valve PPM indicates normal function, potential patient-prosthesis mismatch, or intrinsic prosthesis dysfunction.
How does Valve PPM help with optimal valve selection?
For optimal valve selection, users input the valve position (aortic/mitral) and patient characteristics (weight/height). Valve PPM then instantly indicates the minimum Effective Orifice Area (EOA) required to avoid Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM).
What devices support Valve PPM?
Valve PPM is supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices.
What is the age rating for Valve PPM?
Valve PPM has an age rating of 12+, making it suitable for users aged 12 and above.
