Case 1: Aortic Stenosis

Cine 3CH / coronal LVOT: Degenerative aortic valve stenosis. Concentric hypertrophied LV with normal systolic function and severely dilated LA.

Maximal velocity assessment: Projection plane in 3CH (A) and coronal LVOT (B) orthogonal to the aortic stenosis jet. Velocity time curve (C) with a maximal velocity of 4.5 m/s.

Velocity (A) vs. flow (B) assessment: Adjust the projection plane orthogonal to the aortic stenosis jet (red) for velocity assessment and parallel to the aortic annulus (blue) for flow assessment.

Aortic valve area planimetry: cine stack parallel to the annulus.
