Normal E/A ratio of about 1:2 in an elderly patient with aortic stenosis and left ventricular hypertrophy is indicative of pseudo-normalization (see Figure 7). PW=pulsed wave; MV DT=mitral valve ...

The diagnosis of aortic stenosis is made mostly on physical examination and by echocardiography. The ECG in patients with aortic stenosis frequently shows left ventricular hypertrophy with strain ...

Aortic stenosis, affecting nine million people globally, is often unnoticed as symptoms are mistaken for aging. This heart condition, common in elderly, restricts blood flow due to valve narrowing, ...

Auscultation of the heart in patients with aortic stenosis can be very helpful in both the diagnosis and determining the severity of disease. The typical murmur of aortic stenosis is a high ...

In principle, the blood volume passing through a stenotic valve (aortic stenosis) is equal to the blood volume proximal to the stenosis or in the LVOT (Figure 4). The stroke volume is equal to ...

DAVID MONTGOMERY: Aortic stenosis is a tightening of one of the four major valves of the heart. The aortic valve is particularly important because the aortic valve is the gateway to the rest of ...
