Abstract

Aortic stenosis results from thickening,
calcification and/ or fusion of aortic valve
leaflets thus producing an obstruction to LV
outflow. The severity of AS can readily and
accurately be diagnosed by either

Transthoracic echo is most commonly
employed for this purpose, being non invasive
and reasonably accurate. It not only allows one
to gauge the thickness of and calcification over
the aortic valve, but helps to measure the
severity of AS by such means as planimetry and
