4 Tips for assessing aortic stenosis with echo

In this case of a patient with aortic stenosis and both aortic and mitral regurgitation, EF seems to be ok, but without strain, it's only half the story.

Spotting heart failure and initiating cardio-protection early can save your chemo patient's life because it allows them to continue with their cancer treatment. In this video, you will see the case of a woman with breast cancer where exactly this was done, with a good outcome.

In this video we present to you how to achieve the parasternal short-axis view and how to use it to assess calcification of the aortic valve.

Pressure overload due to aortic stenosis leads to left ventricular hypertrophy, which leads to a drop in ejection fraction - but what if we had a parameter that detects more subtle changes earlier? Could we maybe even help patients with valvular heart disease before their quality of life begins to drop? You guessed it - we might be able to, and strain could be the key.
