The critical issue of LVOT diameter measurement
• Underestimation of LVOT diameter is ♯1 error leading to the false conclusion of severe AS
• This also leads to underestimation of stroke volume and to the false conclusion of “Low-Flow”
• LVOT diameter should be re-checked (several times) on closer examination
• TEE may be useful in case of poor image quality

Severe AS with AV velocity < 4 m/sec ?
Velocity = 3.8 m/sec
Mean Gradient = 38 mmHg
From Apex
From Right Parastetnal position
Velocity = 5.6 m/sec
Mean Gradient = 72 mmHg

Optimal Doppler Velocity Location Depends on Aortic Root Angulation
• Overall, the highest AV velocity comes from RPS in 50%
• If the angle<115 degree, it is from RPS in 67%
• AS/MG is underestimated in 15% if only apex is used
