Background: In paradoxical low-flow, low gradient (PLFLG) aortic stenosis, 2D-transthoracic echocardiography (2D-TTE)may underestimate flow because it assumes a circular left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) shape. Three-dimensional transesophagealechocardiography (3D-TEE) is a better method to measure LVOT area.Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate left ventricular stroke volume index (SVi) by 2D-TTE and 3D-TEE in patientswith normal heart (NH) and with severe aortic stenosis (SAS) and to determine how many patients are categorized asPLFLG by 2D-TTE and 3D-TEE.Methods: Thirty-five patients were evaluated by 2D-TEE and 3D-TEE: NH=17 patients and SAS=18 patients. Left ventricularoutflow tract area was estimated during early systo...
