Prognostic and therapeutic implications of a low aortic valve calcium score in patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis. [PDF]
Aims Low-gradient (LG) aortic stenosis (AS) poses a diagnostic challenge. Aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) assessment has emerged as a complementary diagnostic method when echocardiography provides discordant results.

Risk prediction in patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis and reduced ejection fraction undergoing TAVI. [PDF]
Objective Patients with low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG AS) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are known to suffer from poor prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Aortic valve calcium volume as measured by native versus contrast-enhanced computer tomography and the implications for the diagnosis of severe aortic stenosis in TAVR patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis. [PDF]
Most of TAVR centers evaluate the calcium score in contrast-enhanced (ce) CT. We compared in this study between different methodologies to measure calcium score. We studied also the difference between patients with low-gradient (LG) and high-gradient (HG)

Aortic valve chordae tendineae: A rare cause of aortic stenosis
We describe a rare case of severe low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis due to a calcified aortic valve chordae tendineae. The chordae was captured on cardiac computed tomography (CT) using advanced 3-dimensional image reconstruction to reveal the ...

Concomitant mitral regurgitation in patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis: an analysis from the German Aortic Valve Registry. [PDF]
Patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) frequently presented mitral regurgitation (MR), which may interfere with the standard echocardiographic measurements of mean pressure gradient (MPG), flow velocity, and aortic valve area (AVA).

Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography in Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis
Background: Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is recommended by guidelines to distinguish between true-severe and pseudo-severe aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with low-gradients and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job
