Low Gradient, Low Ejection Fraction Aortic Stenosis.
Low gradient aortic stenosis can be caused by critical aortic stenosis causing left ventricular impairment or by more moderate aortic stenosis coexisting with another cause of left ventricular impairment. The main challenges are to differentiate these two states and then to determine whether the left ventricle is likely to recover after aortic valve surgery. Exhaustive echocardiography is neces...
متن کاملLow gradient severe aortic stenosis with normal ejection fraction.
Sir, A 18 year old female patient was diagnosed to have tubercular cervical lymphadenopathy and started on antitubercular therapy (ATT). The lymphadenopathy regressed, however, after four months of ATT, patient developed jaundice, abdominal distension and swelling of bilateral lower limbs. She had no bleeding manifestation or altered behaviour. She had no history of jaundice in the past, histor...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis: an unusual cause of low flow-low gradient aortic stenosis with preserved ejection fraction.
Current practice of aortic stenosis assessment. Aortic stenosis (AS) has become the most frequent valve disease and has a very poor outcome when left untreated in symptomatic patients. Because aortic valve replacement can—in the best case—normalize survival, timely diagnosis and correct quantification of AS are crucial (1). Current practice guidelines recommend echocardiography as the method of...

متن کاملLow-Flow Aortic Stenosis and Reduced Ejection Fraction: New Insights
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20150080 With the aging of the population, the incidence of degenerative cardiovascular diseases has steadily increased, especially aortic stenosis (AS), present in 3%-5% of the population older than 75 years1,2. In the last decade, severe AS is characterized taking into account several functional aspects between the left ventricle and the aorta, especially by echocardiography,...
