TVol

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Echocardiogram
The following is an echocardiogram report for a patient with severe aortic stenosis who has had a TAVI procedure:
- Ecocardiografía post-implante
Medidas del ventrículo izquierdo:
Diámetro TSVI: 2.10 cm.
Medidas de la válvula aórtica:
GP max VAo 15.9 mmHg, GP max TSVI: 10.4 mmHg. AVA (ITV): 3.2 cm2.
GP medio VAo: 8.3 mmHg. GP medio TSVI: 5.5 mmHg, AVA (ITV) indexada: 1.57cm2/m2.
V.max VAo: 199.5 cm/s. V.max TSVI: 160.9 cm/s. AVA (Vmax): 2.8 cm2..
ITV VAo: 34.1 cm. ITV TSVI: 32.0 cm. TVol VAo: 0.80.
IVT TSVI/VAo: 0.94. VS (TSVI): 110.8 ml.
VS (TSVI) indexado: 53.6 ml.
Everything seems fine apart from the abbreviation "TVol" (in TVol VAo).
Can anyone advise me what "TVol" is intended to indicate here?
Thanks.

Chema Nieto Castañón Jun 8:
I cannot help coming back to this question. I suspect it might be related to the aortic valve velocity ratio (AVVR), but I can't figure out how can TVol (TVel?) fit in here. Did you find out what does this stand for?
Douglas Davies (asker) Jun 7:
Thanks Chema. That's what I thought too - but I don't know what index.
Chema Nieto Castañón May 31:
It looks like it should be an index -as long as TVol VAo does not have measurement units (ml, cm, cm2, cm/seg...)- rather than a "volume" -which should have measurement units. But I have not been able to figure out which.
Hernan Casasbuenas May 30:
Yes Phil. In my opinion they should be left unchanged.
philgoddard May 30:
It would be nice to know what this stands for - total volume is another possibility - but aren't at least some of these abbreviations English? Can't you just leave it unchanged?
Hernan Casasbuenas May 30:
Please consider this Transvalvular volume across the Aortic valve

Note from asker:
Hi Liz. It certainly relates to the aortic valve. It appears to be a ratio or index of some sort, as there are no units. It's not the aortic valve area itself, as this is given elsewhere (AVA).
Hi Isabelle. I think it may refer to a ratio or index, as there are no associsated units.
Peer comment(s):
neutral liz askew : maybe, but I couldn't find this in relation to the aortic valve, strange.....

Good point. Could be transvalvular volume flow rate, in which case the author used the wrong acronym https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8238587/ (as suggested by Hernan)
Something went wrong...

I assume they are talking about the aortic valve area

While the cumulative 5‐year incidence of AVR was similar across the 3 groups (≈40%), the 5‐year incidence of the primary end point was high with AVA 0.8 cm2 and 29% for AVA 0.6–0.8 cm2). After covariate adjustment, AVA 0.8 cm2, while the excess risk of AVA 0.6 to 0.8 cm2 versus >0.8 cm2 was modest, although statistically significant. Kanamori et al unequivocally demonstrate that asymptomatic patients with severe AS, normal LVEF, and AVA

so, I would plump for


aortic valve area
Note from asker:
Hi again Liz. I note that the figure for Tvol does indeed reflect the calculation of LVOT Vmax/AV Vmax, which I believe can be used as an alternative method for calculating AVA.
