EhoKardio vs Valve PPM

EhoKardio is a reference manual with normal and pathological results of an echocardiographic examination. Individual measurements are accompanied by pictures and diagrams to assist the examiner. The application can also calculate derived values. EhoKardio app is based on the existing manual Ehokardiografija v številkah, published by Slovenian Society of Cardiology. The app is currently only available in Slovene. Please note that EhoKardio is primarily aimed at cardiologists. Provided information should not be taken as medical advice. Please consult your doctor in addition to using this app.

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).
