CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS • Passive Leg Raise Stress Echocardiography in Severe Paradoxical Low-Flow, Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis

Management of aortic stenosis (AS) – the most common valvular heart disease in Europe and North America – is done by catheter intervention or surgery; in severe symptomatic AS, valve replacement is the treatment of choice. Diagnosis of severe AS, which is defined as an aortic valve area (AVA) �...

THE HEMODYNAMIC CORNER • Aortic Stenosis Severity: Rhythm Makes a Difference

The assessment of aortic valve stenosis (AS) severity based on Doppler velocity and pressure gradient is ﬂow dependent. Both velocity and pressure gradient increase with elevated transaortic ﬂows and decrease with reduction in ﬂow rates for a given aortic valve oriﬁce area. In this case repo...

STRAIN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN AORTIC STENOSIS • Multichamber Strain Characterization Is a Robust Prognosticator for Both Bicuspid and Tricuspid Aortic Stenosis

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality. It is detected in up to 50% of patients requiring aortic valve replacement (AVR) because of signiﬁcant aortic stenosis (AS). Patients with BAV-AS are two decades younger, have fewer comorbidities, and exhibit significan...

CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS • Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with Moderate Aortic Stenosis

Recent data shows poor long-term survival in patients with moderate aortic stenosis, challenging traditional definitions of AS severity and timing of intervention in these patients. The presence of moderate AS in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; ...

VALVULAR HEART DISEASE • Natural History of Moderate Aortic Stenosis with Preserved and Low Ejection Fraction

The authors of this study sought to evaluate if moderate AS is associated with increased mortality in comparison with propensity-matched patients, stratiﬁed by ejection fraction (EF), and transaortic gradient, which potentially may justify AV replacement by TAVR ......
