Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an aortic valve opening area of approximately 0.9 cm², a peak systolic flow rate of 4.5 m/s, a differential pressure gradient of 82 mmHg, a left ventricular ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to ...

If the transvalvular gradient increases with output, severe aortic stenosis is present and valve replacement may be beneficial. However, if output increases but gradient does not, only mild ...
