A complete echocardiographic evaluation for aortic stenosis ... cusp separation by M-mode echocardiography of 12 mm or greater suggests absence of critical stenosis. Heavy calcification reduces ...

This can be an important add-on to echocardiography in patients with a borderline need for intervention, researchers say.

The diagnosis of aortic stenosis is often made initially on physical examination and confirmed by echocardiography. The ECG findings of left ventricular hypertrophy with strain and left atrial ...

The echo images show the size of the valve opening and whether it is adversely affecting left ventricular function. These ...

Researchers from the University of Sheffield and the University of East Anglia have implemented a cutting-edge 4D flow MRI ...

Researchers have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before. Aortic stenosis is a progressive and potentially fatal condition ...

follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) utilization, assignment of a billing code indicative of severe aortic stenosis and specialist referral. Electronic provider notification led to more ...

A new method of alerting clinical care providers holds promise for increasing treatment and improving survival for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), a valvular heart condition that can be ...

University of East Anglia scientists have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before.

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 ...

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 ...
