Aortic Stenosis: Severity Assessment and Clinical Implications

Move from individual aortic stenosis measurements to a clear, defensible and standardized severity interpretation.

Work through a practical framework for integrating Vmax, mean gradient, calculated AVA, velocity ratio, flow context, and clinical findings. Then learn how to communicate what the overall study supports.

In this 60-minute enduring CME activity, you’ll work through a practical echo-lab approach to classifying aortic stenosis severity and communicating the interpretation clearly.

Enroll and strengthen your approach to aortic stenosis severity assessment and reporting.
