LOINC description : The effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) is the size of the defect where the
valve leaflets are not aligning normally (coaptation defect). The severity of regurgitation
is related to the EROA. EROA can be calculated by the Volumetric method as regurgitant
volume divided by the velocity time integral of the regurgitant jet velocity (VTIRegJet),
which is recorded by continuous wave Doppler. [PMID: 18276823];
