Overview
Echocardiography is the best non-invasive test to evaluate the aortic valve anatomy and function. Echocardiography can be used to estimate the gradient across the aortic valve using the modified Bernoulli equation (gradient = 4 X velocity2). The flow must be constant, so as the velocity increases, the valve area decreases proportionally. Echocardiography can also be used to assess the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Optimal Echocardiography Views
Parasternal Long Axis View
The parasternal long axis view visualizes the right and non coronary leaflets.
Parasternal Short Axis View
In the parasternal short axis view, the aortic leaflets open equally and form a circular orifice during systole. During diastole, the normal leaflets form a three pointed star with prominence at the closing point (nodules of Arentius).
Severity of Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis severity can be assessed by estimating both the pressure gradient across the valve and the aortic valve area.
- Using echocardiographic flow velocities, the aortic valve area can be calculated non-invasively to estimate the severity of aortic stenosis.
- Using the velocity of the blood through the valve, the pressure gradient across the valve can be calculated by the equation:
Gradient = 4(velocity)² mmHg
Normal Aortic Valve:
- A normal aortic valve has no gradient, and
- Aortic valve surface area is of 2.5 to 3.5 cms2.
Mild Aortic Stenosis:
- Mean pressure gradient across the valve is less than 25 mm Hg, or
- Valve surface area is between 1.5 and 2.5 cms2, or
- Jet velocity less than 3.0 m per second
Moderate Aortic Stenosis:
- Mean pressure gradient across the valve is between 25 mm Hg and 40 mm Hg, or
- Valve surface area is between 1.0 and 1.5 cms2, or
- Jet velocity 3.0 to 4.0 m per second
Moderate to Severe Aortic Stenosis
- Valve surface area is between 0.7 and 1.0 cms2
Severe Aortic Stenosis:
- Mean pressure gradient across the valve is more than 40 mm Hg, or
- Valve surface area is less than 0.7 cm2, or
- Jet velocity is greater than 4.0 m per second
Severity | mild | moderate | severe |
---|---|---|---|
Valve Surface Area | 2.5 - 1.5 | 1.5 - 1.0 | <1.0 |
Jet Velocity (m/s) | 2 - 3 | 3 - 4 | >4 |
Peak Gradient (mmHg) | <25 | 25 - 40 | >40 |
Mean Gradient (mmHg) | <20 | 20-40 | >40 |

Severe Aortic Stenosis without Aortic Regurgitation
Cntinuous wave doppler below shows a peak velocity across the aortic valve of a gradient of 85 mmHg, which is compatible with severe aortic stenosis. No aortic regurgitation is present.
