In patients with severe AS, concomitant MR is common, contributes to the onset of a low-gradient AS pattern, and affects the diagnostic accuracy of flow-dependent AVA measurements. In this setting, a multimodality, AVA-centric approach should be implemented. In patients with severe aortic stenosis, concomitant mitral regurgitation contributes to the onset of a low-gradient pattern, warranting a multimodality, and AVA-centric diagnostic approach.
