Comparison of Aortic Valve and LV TTE Measurements: On Admission in December 2019, Previous TTE in April 2019, and Following Successful Therapy in October 2020
| Measurement | April 2019 | December 2019 | October 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peak gradient, mm Hg | 35.0 | 76.0 | 20.5 |
| Mean gradient, mm Hg | 17.0 | 40.0 | 10.8 |
| Area (continuity), cm2 | 1.33 | 0.83 | 1.12 |
| Mitral regurgitation | Mild | Moderate | Mild |
| LVEF, % | 35–40 | 35–40 | 45–50 |
| LVEDD, cm | 5.83 | 6.03 | 5.23 |
| LVESD, cm | 5.20 | 4.54 | 4.82 |
LV = left ventricular; LVEDD = left ventricular end-systolic dimension; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESD = left ventricular end-systolic dimension; TTE = transthoracic echocardiogram.
