SLIDE 16 Aortic Valve Area
- Normal: 4 cm2
- Mild Aortic Stenosis: 1.5-2.0 cm2
- Moderate Aortic Stenosis: 1.0-1.5 cm2
- Severe Aortic Stenosis: < 1.0 cm2
- Typically narrowing progresses at 0.1 cm2/yr,
but variable

SLIDE 29
SLIDE 30 Errors in Estimating Valve Area
- Typically arise in echocardiography from an
inaccurate measurement of the left ventricular outflow tract
- Hence, typically gradient is used
SLIDE 31 Velocity Across the Aortic Valve and Area
Stage Mean Gradient (mmHg) Jet Velocity (m/s) Aortic Valve Area (cm2) Normal 0-9 1 3-4 Mild 10-20 <3 > 1.5 Moderate 20-40 3-4 1.0-1.5 Severe
< 1.0
SLIDE 32
Hemodynamics and Murmur of Aortic Insufficiency
SLIDE 33 Follow-up Interval with Echocardiogram for Aortic Insufficiency
- Mild (severity): echo every 3-5 years
- Moderate : echo every 1-2 years
- Severe: echo every 6-12 months, more often if
LV is dilating
JACC Vol. 63, No. 22, 2014
SLIDE 34 Physical Signs with Severe AI
- De Musset sign: head bobs with heartbeat
- Water hammer pulse
- Traube sign: booming systolic and diastolic
sounds heart over femoral artery
- Muller sign: systolic pulsation of uvula
- Duroziez sign: systolic mumur with compression
- f the femoral arery proximally and diastolic
mumur when compressed distally
- Quincke sign: capillary pulsations with
transmitting light through the fingernails
SLIDE 35 Follow-up Interval with Echocardiogram for Aortic Stenosis
- Mild (severity): echo every 3-5 years
- Moderate : echo every 1-2 years
- Severe: echo every 6-12 months
