Session Objectives

1. Apply Doppler interrogation to assess patients for aortic valve stenosis.

2. Characterize aortic stenosis with regard to LV systolic function and flow state (i.e. low gradient aortic stenosis in setting

of LV systolic dysfunction, high gradient with normal systolic dysfunction, paradoxical low flow-low gradient aortic stenosis

3. Use Doppler to assess aortic valve prosthesis to identify prosthesis dysfunction.
