Grading the severity of PR

 

 Parameters Mild Moderate Severe
QUALITATIVE      
   Pulmonic valve morphology Normal Normal/Abnormal Abnormal
   Colour flow PR jet width  Small, usually <10 mm in length with a narrow origin Intermediate Large with a wide origin; may be brief in duration
   CW signal of PR jet Faint/slow deceleration Dense/variable Dense/steep deceleration, early termination of diastolic flow
   Pulmonic vs. Aortic flow by PW Normal or slightly increased Intermediate

Greatly increased
