Abstract
Simulating altered AR hemodynamics caused by variations in cardiovascular tissue properties led to inconsistent severity scores when evaluating the severity using RF, regurgitant volume, and PHT. In this situation, pulmonary congestion is poorly reflected by AR severity as quantified by ROA, RF, and PHT. Cardiac and aortic tissue properties should therefore be taken into account to improve clinical assessment of AR severity.
