Overview
When severe systolic and/or diastolic myocardial dysfunction coexist with aortic stenosis, there is a decrease in the flow through the valve leading to a prominent decrease in the transvalvular gradient, a condition referred to as low flow low gradient aortic stenosis (LF-LG AS). LF-LG AS with is defined as:
- An aortic valve areas < 1.0 cm2, and
- A mean pressure difference or gradient across the aortic valve of < 40 mm Hg
Management
Shown below is an algorithm of the management of low flow, low gradient aortic stenosis.[1]
Abbreviations: AVR: Aortic valve replacement; EOA: Effective orifice area; ΔPmean: mean pressure gradient
