Normal values of continuity-equation derived AVA are smaller than previously considered. AVA values below cutoffs of moderate or severe AS can be found in patients without the disease. Flow-corrected indices may overestimate AS in patients with low gradients, particularly in the presence of well-identified risk factors.
