- Critical Aortic Stenosis
- Severely dysplastic thickened aortic valve with restricted excursion
- Critical Aortic Stenosis
- Severely dysplastic thickened aortic valve with restricted excursion
- Endocardial fibroelastosis with echobright endocardium
- Severely depressed left ventricular systolic function
- Critical Aortic Stenosis
- Dysplastic thickened aortic valve with restricted excursion with flow turbulence
- Small narrow jet of color Doppler flow across a severely stenotic aortic valve
- Endocardial fibroelastosis with echobright endocardium
- Severely depressed left ventricular systolic function
- Critical Aortic Stenosis
- Spectral Doppler across the aortic valve in patient with severe aortic stenosis
- Peak Doppler gradient an underestimate in the setting of LV dysfunction
- Spectral Doppler across the aortic valve in patient with severe aortic stenosis
This is the subcostal view the left ventricular outflow tract, aortic valve and left ventricle can be profiled. Color and spectral Doppler interrogation across the aortic valve can be performed to assess the severity of the aortic stenosis.
