The study introduces a novel technique for detecting aortic insufficiency and quantifying regurgitant volume in humans.
When a diastolic murmur is present at the base of the heart, it may be difficult on clinical grounds to determine whether or not aortic insufficiency is present. Further, in patients in whom this lesion definitely exists, the magnitude of aortic regurgitant flow has been the subject of considerable speculation among both clinicians and physiologists. A technic has been devised that not only makes possible the detection of aortic insufficiency but also permits an estimate of the regurgitant volume to be made.

Braunwald et al. (1958) studied Aortic insufficiency. A technic for the detection and estimation of aortic regurgitant flow was evaluated on Detection of aortic insufficiency and estimation of regurgitant volume. A newly devised technique enables the detection of aortic insufficiency and permits the estimation of aortic regurgitant volume in patients with a diastolic murmur.
