Article Synopsis
- Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is identified by a specific heart murmur pattern and a weak or absent second heart sound.
- Diagnosing AS severity involves echocardiography to assess blood flow and aortic valve area, which helps determine the need for treatment.
- The guide provides strategies for using various imaging techniques to accurately diagnose and evaluate the progression of AS, especially when measurements are inconsistent.
