Continuity equation

Continuity equation: standard method to calculate valvular opening area. Systolic velocities in left ventricular
outflow track (LVOT) and on the aortic valve, as well as LVOT area must be assessed.

A2 = aortic stenosis area, V2 = aortic stenosis velocity time integral (VTI, obtained with CW-Doppler), A1 = LVOT area and V1 = LVOT VTI (obtained with PW-Doppler).

    Can you add the Continuity Equation for calculating valve areas on echocardiography?
    Thanks
