Aortic Stenosis Grading on echocardiography

The cut-offs for grading can be found in table 1. Discrepancies are common and are usually caused by:

- incorrect measurements

- high or low flow

- extremes of body size.

In addition, there is evidence that in European populations the cut-off maximum velocity (V max) of 4.0 m/s and mean gradient 40 mmHg coincide better with an EOA of 0.8 cm2 rather than 1.0 cm2.
