Abstract
Introduction Previous studies demonstrated correlation in assessment of severity of AR between spoiled gradient-echo CMR and phase contrast color Doppler echocardiography in AR patients as well as normal subjects (Pflugfelder, et al. Am J Roentgenol 1989; 152:729-35). SSFP gradient-echo sequence is now a mainstay in evaluating cardiac function, as well as valvular structures. Aortic regurgitation creates flow disturbances that manifests as signal void from signal dephasing. This study compares the qualitative assessment of AR using SSFP CMR versus Doppler echocardiography.

Previous studies demonstrated correlation in assessment of severity of aortic regurgitation (AR) between spoiled gradient-echo CMR and phase contrast color Doppler echocardiography in AR patients as well as normal subjects (Pflugfelder, et al Am J Roentgenol 1989; 152:729-35)
Qualitative agreement of aortic regurgitation assessed by steady state free precession signal void as compared to doppler echocardiography Mark R Bowers*, Raymond Q Migrino, Daniel Eastwood and Jason C Rubenstein
The score was compared to AR severity assessed using Doppler echocardiography by experts in echocardiography using the same scoring system
