## What is Valve PPM?

Valve PPM is an innovative mobile tool developed to support echocardiography professionals in their effort of assessing the functionality of implanted prosthetic cardiac valves.


The application provides guidelines for assessing an already implanted valve (Check Valve Function) and for choosing a valve before implantation (Optimal Valve Selector). The algorithms behind the App have been derived after an extensive research of the published materials on the aortic and mitral prosthetic valve assessment.


- Check Valve Function

After selecting a particular valve type, the patient characteristics (weight/height) and the prosthesis actual parameters (peak velocity, mean gradient, VTI prosthesis, VTI LVOT and LVOTd), Valve PPM will provide the user with an answer regarding the normal function of the valve, the potential patient prosthesis mismatch or the intrinsic prosthesis dysfunction.


- Optimal Valve Selector

The user will be required to select a valve position (aortic/mitral) and the patient characteristics (weight/height) and Valve PPM will instantly indicate the minimum Effective Orifice Area (EOA) in order to avoid Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM).

## Key features

- Assess implanted valve function
- Select optimal valve before implantation
- Analyze patient and prosthesis parameters
- Identify potential patient-prosthesis mismatch
- Determine intrinsic prosthesis dysfunction

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-04-23*

Well designed, perfectly calculates valve gradients for operative planning.  The last update (4/23/26) broke the Optimal Valve Selector!  Please fix.

## Frequently asked questions about Valve PPM

### 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.
