Repeated echocardiographic imaging of aortic stenosis: Real-life lessons.
Jonathan James Hyett BrayAdrian IonescuPublished in: Echocardiography (Mount Kisco, N.Y.) (2021)
Almost half of patients with AS have valve area/gradient discordance. Variations in LVOT diameter measurement commensurate with clinical practice reclassified AS severity in up to two-third of cases. Change in AS severity should only be accepted following careful scrutiny of all available ECHO data.
